What Our Editors Thought
“Beautiful mulled spice in the nose, with a dusty cinnamon edge and apples below. A bit loose in the sip, as the lemony acidity overpowers some of the pleasant notes of the aroma.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Smells like fall—spiced apple-cider nose is really inviting. You get a nice tart apple character, but the fruit aspect is kind of lost, and the finish is left with a rougher tannic bite. A bit overly dry, and not much beer character to differentiate from cider.”
What the Brewers Say
“A fruit tart brewed with Granny Smith apples and a blend of spices.”
