Copenhagen 24/11 2021. 47,3 cl can from Din Øl (dinol.dk) web-shop. The top of an apple surrounded by cranberries on the yellow can.
Pours opaque, murky amber with a small, bubbly white head which disappears after a few seconds. No lacing.
Aroma is intense with a sweet, sugary odor mingling with a more subdued sour scent. Apple cake and sugar. Sour whiff of unripe cranberries.
Light carbonation. Thick, viscous, soft, creamy and flat texture.
Flavor is fairly intense with a heavy sweetness followed by a moderately strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet and cake-like. Finish is sweet and sticky.
On the verge of being a bit cloying and it does not help that it gets thicker and lumpier as I approached the bottom of the can.

Dark, ruby color. Medium-sized, pink head. Cinnamon, apple, lactic sugar, and cranberry in the aroma. Tart/sweet, fruity. Nice.

It’s not really beer but it sure is good. Light red. Enormous head. Texture of a well blended smoothie. Notes of apple pie and graham cracker. It’s a great fall beer.

The aroma of the beer is just like a pie was baked in the oven. The beer is pretty thick, not like a shake, but you can’t see through it. The taste is outstanding, apple, cinnamon and some sour from the cranberries.

A: The beer is very hazy to murky dark pinkish purple in color. It poured with a quarter finger high off white head.
S: Moderate aromas of apples and brown sugar are present in the nose along with hints of cinnamon.
T: The taste follows the smell and tastes like apple pie filling along with a moderate amount of sweetness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a bit smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer smells and tastes a lot like apple pie filling and would make for a nice accompaniment to a dessert. I didn't really get any of the cranberries in the smell or taste.
