Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Strong smell of a dark or brown lager, some hints of spice.
Initial Taste: Some bite from carbonation, with a slight apple hints that turns to brown lager taste quickly.
After Taste: Long-lingering dark semi-bitter lager with some spices.  Little apple flavours but from peel. Spices remain on the pallet leaving it semi-sweet, rich and warm finish.
On ice: No tested

Additional Notes: With only subtle hints of apple, this spicy brown or dark lager has some strong warm notes great for a brisk winter/fall day.  A rich, full flavoured all organic offering from Beau’s leaves a slightly bitter warmth in your stomach.
