12 ounce can from WOodman's APpleton, 9/26/19. I'll leave those typos. They almost look intentional. Clear golden amber, thin fizzy head, poor retention. Aroma of sweet apple and bit of sugar. Taste is apple flesh, candied apple, a bit of hay. Medium bodied, sweet but not overly sweet. Actually quite nice with some simplicity and complexity at the same time.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 8/3/19. Clear gold, slight haze, thin fizzy white head fades quickly. Aroma of dry apples and peppers. Taste is strong habanero peppers, sweet apples. Medium bodied, strong spice and heat, mild sweetness. Low carb. I don't mind peppers but this is a little over the top.
