Small and brief head of soda like bubbles. It dies out quickly leaving no lace. Deep amber to brown color. Clear.

Rich and very sweet. It smells like a wort.

The body is thin and the carbonation is high. The flavor is less sweet and the finish has a decent hop presence. There's a toasted white bread malt base while the bittering is straight forward. The flavors are two-dimensional with little complexity.

A: The beer is slightly hazy dark brownish red in color. It poured with a half finger high light beige head that died down, leaving a narrow collar around the edge of the glass and a thin layer covering the surface.
S: Light aromas of sweet apples are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of apples along with notes of sweet malt extracts.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The taste of this beer has a good balance between the fruit and malt.
