12oz can. Poured a clear yellowish color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was big cider - apples and cinnamon. How is this so boozy at just 7.5? Big cider, apples, cinnamon. It's just not for me...
Amber pour. Thinnish head. Apples, caramel or toffee flavor with a spice that tastes like clove palate.. medium bodied and medium carbonation

Very clear and crisp copper and blonde coloured body with a thinnish, pure white head, about two centimetres tall that fades quickly and leaves a thin layer on top. Aroma of apple, tons of caramelised sugars, a dash of toffee and a noticeable amount of malt and some bread here as well - quite strong in the nose and very pie-y. Medium-bodied; Strong rich apple and malt flavours dominate with some graham cracker and slightly nutty notes, but the sugars and a lot of grain come through at the end that bring out a bit more of the rich qualities, especially with the alcohol and a bit more pungency at the end. Aftertaste shows the apples of course and a lot of the toffee with a nice bready and slightly grainy malt characteristic with some alcohol of course, but more of the sugars, including the apple than anything else, but some elegant allspice and canella at the end as well. Overall, a very nice beer that has an elegant fruitiness from the apples, but the malt, sugars and light spicey characteristics are great throughout here. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 02-November-2020 for US$2,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 21-February-2022.

$9.99 bomber from Beer Run. Pours murky gold with a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet baked apple, cinnamon... really does smell like an apple pie. Flavor is cinnamon, apple, yeast, booze, glue. Interesting.
