My rating: 4
My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.01

Intro: A 1 pint can, with no clear canned on or best before date. Poured into a winebar glass.
Appearance: Looks like apple juice with a few floaties in it. Pretty much no head, but there’s some white lacing here and there.
Aroma: Sweet apple juice, stewed apples, cinnamon.
Taste: Sweet, apple juice, sugar syrup, stewed apples, cinnamon, with light crusty notes.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.
Overall: Sweet, maybe even sweeter than apple pie itself. It’s more like sweet stewed apples for me, while missing the pie crust, which I think would have balanced the sweetness to a more acceptable level.
