From the can after many free Miller Lites at the Vikings draft party. Sugary candy apple aroma. Taste of sugary sweet candy apple flavoring. Just too sweet and sugary like a kids apple drink.
Australian version from CUB (4%).330ml bottle into shaker. Aroma of stale malt, cardboard and tin. Crystal clear amber beer with two finger white head, steady stream of fine bubbles. Tastes like weak fruit juice that has been filtered through white bread crusts. Weird! I find it hard to believe that there was a demand somewhere for this. Quick! More focus groups!
Can from a friend. Pours a clear golden colour with a very thin white head. Aroma of apple, white sugar, slight white bread and subtle cardboard. Taste of apple juice, white sugar and subtle bready malt. Light bodied and moderate carbonation. A sweet, apple juice finish. Not a beer, more like a cider, and not a very good one at that. Like cheap French cider.
Clear glass bottle. Clear golden color. Aroma is sweet apple juice. Taste is red apple juice. Sweet with a slight chemical cleaner taste that is a bit off putting.
Clear, pale golden-yellow colored, almost no head. Aroma of some apple juice, sugary. Taste is medium- sweet apple juice, sugar and stale pale lager... Watery.
I wouldn’t call this an Ale. This more like a cider. On a hot day for thurst.
Strange, in that I expected this to be a bit more ale like, but it’s more like a mass produced cider. I guess that’s what they were going for. Aroma was apples, flavor was apple juice.
Pours a medium straw with a white head. Light carbonation. Very sweet apple flavor. Not tart like a cider. Nothing great.
Bottle at Greene Turtle BWI. Body is amber slight, with littlle head. Nose is malty, some apples. Taste is floral, wheat, apples too. Strange stuff. Weak.
22nd May 2016, large can at the Angles Stadium in Anaheim (beat Baltimore O’s 10-2). Apples.
Looks, smells, and tastes like apple juice but with carbonation. Not horrible but not something I would buy again. Glad I got just one bottle from the sampler shelves.

12 ounce bottle. Clear brassy gold color. No head. Fresh apple nose. Sweet apple flavor is reminiscent of a sparkling apple cider and a light bodied beer.
Slight apple aroma. Clear and pours like a cider, no head, no foam. It has a bit of apple flavor to it, and that is about it. No other notes come through as predominate.
From the clear 12 fl. oz. bottle dated Feb 15-2016, When I bought it I thought this was a cider not a fruit beer. So here goes nothing. Bright golden pour with champagne like fizzy head the erupts and diminishes in seconds. Smells like apples and past expiration date fruit. Thin body. The taste is a slight step up with a toasted biscuit character with those mashed apples. Sweet all around.
Downhill from here! Brewed under license by CUB here in Oz and weighing in at a measly 4.0% ABV, I’m sad to see this one on bill boards all across WA - it’s 2015 CUB!! Into a tulip chilled. Aroma of fell, rotting fruit, rusted car-bodies and muddy, dirty water - pretty much a stubby of Vic Bitter! Yee gads, hideous sweet and astringent mess. First sip made my entire body shudder and I think I’m scared to take another. Syrupy apple juice cloys at the palate like a liquid adhesive. Manky rust notes make it more deplorable. Tastes like I’d imagine those road-side waterways would taste. It tastes of dirt. My first in a long time to go down the drain. I don’t even get the concept of this beer let alone CUB snatching up the license to brew it. Shite!!! (33cL, BB02/04/16, Dan Murphy’s, Canning)
This tastes exactly like what I thought it would, apple juice. Apple juice with a slight alcohol kick. I enjoyed it for what it is.
Australian version - 4% ABV. BB 23 May 16. Poured a crystal clear amber with a few white bubbles for a collar that laced poorly. Carbonation extremely low and coarse. Aroma sweet with maybe a hint of malt. Taste like sweet apple juice - not an ale, not even a beer. Light watery body. Smooth and bland; not even as tasty as apple juice.
Australian version, brewed by CUB. Orange with a detergent-like white head. Aroma of cardboard, cooked apple puree. Wow, the head feels like soap bubbles. Very sweet, more rubbish cider than beer. The finish really needs a little more bitterness or acid just to stop the flabby puree from droning on. Fairly nasty.
Clear, golden pour with no head. It smells like apple juice and has the same flat texture as well. The taste is sweet, again like apple juice.
bottle, dan murphys tasting - glad to try 3 beers for free that i would never have bought. clear dull golden, simultaneously flat and fizzy; very sweet nose, some apple juice from concentrate, faint lemonade; blergh
From a bottle. This is horrendous! Oh, please God doth make me drink this rubbish again.
12 oz. bottle. Pours clear/gold with no head. Aroma of apples, apple cider. Tastes same as aroma, sweet.
I had it from the can. The aroma is apple. The taste is apple cider with the slightest hint of corn malt. This really drinks like a cider. There’s not much carbonation at all. It’s still pretty refreshing on a hot day. I’d rather drink a good cider though.
Bottle@bikinibeach at orient Beach. Drinking it from the Bottle. Intens synthetic Apple aromas. Sweet. Dry finish very sweet cider like. Not for me.
Pint can. Light gold pour with a minimal white head. Taste and aroma of apple juice mixed with a touch of light beer. Inoffensive but not anything much to talked about, Enough apple juice to make it a bit better than the average macro swill.
pours thin, no beer-like head or lacing. goes down like a apple cider. sweet. a bit too sweet for my tastes, but not necessarily unpleasant. i’m not sure why it says ale on the bottle.
Sweet faux apple aroma over an insipid malt base. Tart apple and fake
flavour. Pretty shitty.
Can. The sweet flavor is actually overwhelming for a radler. Thanks to my brother i did not have to purchase it myself.
Somewhat refreshing but after the first few sips becomes too much. I would rather just have a cider
