Postmortem Brew Review
Light golden color.
Distinct sweet apple smell and taste. (Granny Smith?)
Good lacing of head.
Head lasted halfway through glass.
Refreshing, not overly sweet nor overpowering apple flavor.

Grim Reaper's Eulogy
Well, when did this turn into a wine review? Let's see...it's made by Gallo Winery, and it's got 21 grams of sugar like a wine...if it looks like a duck and it walks like a duck...it must be a 'cold duck', or wine in this case! In any event, it did not detract me from enjoying its delicious apple fruitiness. I found it to be a very refreshing for some Sunday afternoon imbibing, on a scorcher of a day. The cute little rhino busting through the apple barrels is quite comical. While the Grim Reaper doesn't like the old adage, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", I think this drink could change his mind.
