Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours bright gold with a slight, transient white head. Cinnamon apple aroma. Cinnamon apple flavor. A bit sweet. Suggests the brown sugary parts of an apple pie. Arguably proving City Brewery can brew something that’s not disgusting.

Bottle: Clear gold with a quick white head. Apple, ginger, vanilla scent. Taste is baked apple, cinnamon, vanilla, pie crust. This one actually has a hint of Beer to it, but not much. Very sweet.....honestly, it’s pretty tasty, but I don’t think I could drink 2 back-to-back......
