REVIEW:
Smell (25%): Simply put, it smells like a sweet hard apple cider. 4/5
Taste (40%): A mostly tart apple experience, with a bit of sweetness. Like others in this line, the taste starts going away about halfway through the sip. It's session-like, but just needs more power and flavor. 3/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-light bodied. Good carbonation. 3.5/5
Overall (20%): A good hard soda (or possibly could pass as a cider). Since there are so many beers that I have given rave reviews to, I'd probably just pick up something else and avoid this one if I wasn't doing a review blog. Still, the apple ale has some positive qualities, so it's not all bad here. 3.5/5
Final Weighted Rating: 3.45/5
