Can, from a liquor shop. Pours celar reddish brown with a small frothy beige head, very faint caramel aroma, high carbonation, mildly sweetcaramel taste with nutty flavor, faintly yeasty, thin body, long semisweet finish. A bit thin but easy to drink.

Sample at GABF 10/10/2026, thanks to Beer Savant for assistance with note-taking. Chestnut brown pour with a medium light beige head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lace. Cherry, yeast and malt aroma. Medium body with flavors of tart cherry, yeast and earthy malt. The finish is oaky and tart with a short cherry aftertaste. Decent overall.

I searched some online trying to figure out if this drink is actually a cyser. The can says so. The brewery calls it that. They say it’s made with honey and apples. But the brewery also refers to it in different places as “apple ale”, “beer”, and an “apple cider/beer” combo. A cyser is none of those things. This is kind of annoying, Sun King.
At any rate, it certainly smells of apples and honey. The flavor is sweet and honey forward with the apples lending a little tartness. It’s easy drinking and overall okay, but not something I’d look for again.
