Apple Beer

Apple Beer is a naturally brewed soft drink that dates back to the 1960's. The drink is a variant of a German beverage called Fassbrause, a drink brewed from fruit and spices which dates back to the 1800's. In 1964 The Apple Beer Company of Salt Lake City began to produce this variety of the drink. Apple Beer was originally only sold in cans, but became available in glass bottles for the first time in 1998.

As I am not sure what to expect from this drink I give it a good whiff after opening, but it strangely has no smell to it at all. The drink appears flat after opening, but a very nice carbonation emerges when tipping back the bottle to drink. If pouring it will develop a foamy head. It has a nice tingle and does in deed taste like fresh apples but with a tiny hint of spices. The crispness to it is sharper than a cider and I find that I enjoy this drink and imagine it best in the autumn with the smell of leaves in the air. Definitely give this a try if you are able to find it.
