Appearance: Clear medium golden orange body, with a small white head, which soon collapses to a slight dusting of foam. There is only a slight scattering of foam on the glass walls.. The carbonation is vigorous, with plumes of carbonation, drifting lazily to the surface.
Aroma: A rather pungent wave of green apple is on offer, This seems quite authentic, rather more of a cider, than a beer, The alcohol presents well, offering a mellow note without any harshness.
Taste: Moderate green apple notes begin the taste, soon assuming a sweet, candy-apple sweetness.. The taste sf more of a sweet red apple, than a green one.. Despite the relatively high ABV of 8%, there is no warming note, nor taste of alcohol. Finishes with a lingering, sweet candy apple note,
Mouth feel: Smooth, soft, and quite pleasant, with nothing to offend.
Drinkability/notes: Presents more as a green apple cider, than an ale; still, it is quite pleasing.
Presentation: Packaged in a twenty-three point five ounce aluminum can, served in a Samuel Adams Boston Lager sensory glass.

CAN't quite understand what happened WRT this beer! I am certain that I drank & reviewed it on 18 August 2016 & yet every record seems to have disappeared into the ether. Hmm. Yeah, there are times that The CANQuest (tm) & this site are at logger (lager) heads & this is one of them!
From the CAN: "The Way Apple Ale Is Meant To Be."; "Smooth-Brewed, Full-Bodied refreshing Crisp Apple Ale with sweet, delicious Crisp Green Apple flavor. Brewed like beer using special brewers' yeast. A true Apple Ale."
I gotta admit, I was mighty pissed when it came time to Crack! open this massive 23.5-fl. oz. CAN. I took out some of my anger & frustration in the form of a heavy-handed aggro Glug. This resulted in the formation of a brief finger of fizzy, foamy, soapy, bone-white head with lousy retention, quickly falling to wisps. Color was a solid-Amber (SRM = > 7, < 9) with NE-quality clarity. Nose smelled like the finest Jolly Rancher apples that a chem lab could produce. 8=p Mouthfeel was thin & watery. The taste was apple-like, but imprecise, like a photocopy of a photocopy. It had a light tartness that caused me to wonder what difference from the Green Apple version was going to hold in store for me. It just did not taste quite like green apples. Or maybe slightly fermented green apples. Like when the kids don't want their apple slices at lunch & they sit out until some hungry, enterprising soul grabs them & eats them later. 8=( Waste not, want not, I say, but it does not always pay. Man, this just tasted off or wrong. I am SO irritated at having to go through this for a seCANd time! Finish was tart, dry, unamusing & a waste of time. Bah! YMMV.

The can states Lacrosse, WI and Memphis, TN. The website lists this beer. It leads me to believe it is contract brewed by City Brewing Company, which has breweries in both of those cities.
Poured from a 23.5 oz. can. Has a very dark golden color with no head. Smell is strong of green apples. Taste is green apples,a bit tart, sweeter than expected, hints of alcohol. Feels medium/light bodied in the mouth and overall, it ain't bad, but the red apple version is much better.
