Apple Ale
Appearance - Light gold. Clear and bubble. Short fizzy head without any persistence. Actually, not unlike a carbonated cider. Smell - Sweet cooked apple. Like the insides of an apple pie. Taste - Unsurprisingly sweet apple dominates. Very clean and refreshing. Some complexity to the apple flavor - reflecting the several varieties of apple used in this brew. Flavor is quite good and tastes of honest to goodness apple, but it's a little cloying for my taste. Mouthfeel - Light. Drinkability - New Glarus is without peer when it comes to authentic fruit flavored beers. This is a nice addition, but not in the same league as Cranbic or the Belgian Red.
