Redd's Hard Apple Ale (pack of 6) (35.5cl, 5%)

Redd's Hard Apple Ale is a 5% ABV apple-flavoured malt ale from Wisconsin, USA, sold in a six-pack of 12 oz bottles. It is brewed from a conventional ale base of water, barley malt, hop extract and yeast, with corn syrup used as a fermentable sugar. The apple character comes from natural apple flavouring, citric acid and sucrose rather than pressed fruit or apple juice concentrate, and caramel colour completes the presentation. The aroma leads with malt, with subtle green apple notes behind it. The taste brings crisp green apple tartness over a barley malt backbone, with mild bitterness toward the finish. The close is light and clean, with carbonation that fades quickly.
