Originally reviewed on October 5, 2005. On tap at the brewpub. Musky dusk lemon pour, topped with a bubbly and creamy merangue like head. An assaulting whift of sweet, yet savory pummeling of apple pulp and the dregs of apple cider. An increadibly saccharin light apple flaovr, like apple juice with a tinge of brandy, making it a touch sour. Very dry smack to it. Comes across as a real dry and acerbic, but apple-strong mead. Not much depth of complexity, some level of staleness almost. The more I drink this, the less I like it. It gains a strong honey flavor, with a very sour and somewhat inappropriate tinge.

On-tap at the brewpub: Hazy golden yellow with an enormously tall puffy sponge of off-white foam on top. Mega staying power, hardly moves keeping one majorly impressive head the whole time. Huge lacing clumps in thick strings and globs.
Unique aroma of pear and pineapple, soft, supple, well-rounded, warm, lofty, touches of yellow raisin and cooked apples(without the cinnamon).
Flavors keep insisting its something its not - apple. Its all pear and pineapple with a warming glow of wheat malt and vanilla. Can't detect any real apple flavors, or at least ones I can pick out. Not cidery in the least. Its more like a mead then anything. Chewy, warm, sweet with out alot of sour baggage that some fruit ales like to carry. Its smooth and fruity without being anything sour, tart, or too sweet. Its quite "apple"ing (appealing) and different. I was expecting some cider thing but instead found a charming little warm brew with a whole lot going for it.
Feel is chewy and thick, smooth and delightful, body seems about medium, perhaps a bit more to a heavier side then most other fruity type ales. Malty and warming too. A slow an easy going drinker, seems to pack way more then the listed 6.1% as its warmth is quite noticeable. Did I say its like a mead?
One well put together treat. Glad I decided to try it.
