12 oz can. Clear pale yellow pour with zero head or lacing. High carbonation. Good apple pie flavor yet a very watery champagne mouthfeel. 6.9 ABV is undetectable. Good, but not NEARLY as good as Sprechers Hard Apple Pie.

Draught@CBC2015. Pale yellow colour with no head. Aroma is sweet ripe apples, some banana, toffee and mild herbal notes. Flavour is of banana, some strange sweetness, mild wood as well as some sugary notes. Strange and a bit too sweet.

Draught@CBC2015. Orange colour, with a small white head, which goes away quite quickly. Nice farmyardy notes meeting apple pie in the aroma. Flavour is green apples, some mild hay, grass and mild toffee too. Somewhat dry palate. Refreshing.

Hand bottled plastic bottle brought directly from CBC to my hotel room sick bed. Many thanks to rlgk for getting me this! Pours clear pale red leaving some subtle legs on the glass. Smell is fruity and floral with tons of honey, raspberries, strawberries, lingonberries, minerals and alcohol. Taste is sweet, sour, fruity and floral. Mouthfeel is round, tiny viscous, slightly tart, slightly berry skin astringent, boozy and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and sour with honey, raspberries, lingonberries, cranberries, hay, minerals, alcohol and lemon peal. Quite good if a bit hot. --- Beer merged from original tick of Moose Blood on 02 Mar 2018 at 14:24 - Score: 7
