12 oz bottle at Natt Spil poored into a pint glass

The partners from this brewery must be great hustlers because their beers keep appearing everywhere I turn in south central Wisconsin.

Appearance: Apple juice with a thin beige head. Good lacing.

Aroma: sweet apple bread but not potently

Taste: sweet apples, biscuits, slight back of the palate tartness

Mouthfeel: sweet, wet front. Creamy middle. Dry, grainy finish

Tastes like a light English ale blended with apple juice

Very drinkable but not very exciting

Serving type: bottle

12oz single, Riley's

Props have to be given to furthermore...in a saturated market they keep brewing obscure styles

appearance: pours into a sweetwater pint glass, hazy golden amber body with a creamy beige head and pretty nice lacing...looks a bit like apple juice i'd say

smell: bready malt structure injected with apple juice, a little tart and sugary...not too exciting

taste: I wont have a problem drinking this beer because i like apples and eat at least 1 a day, but i dont think its a particularly well made beer (unlike knot stock, which i very much liked). It just tastes too much like motts apple juice on top of bready malt, which i guess isnt that bad of a thing. Perhaps i just expected more a fresh apple compliment.

mouthfeel: syrupy, medium body

drinkability: fine

Picked up a single at Riley's here in Madison. Described as a "Cream Ale Brewed With Apple Juice" so I entered it as a Cream Ale. Sue me.

Pour: apple juice/macro yellow under a cm of off-white head that fizzles quickly to a ring.

Nose: musty cracker malts, hint of tart apple. Not a whole lot going on.

Taste: solid cream ale base - smooth biscuit malts and some grain, tart apple juice comes in the middle, though subtly. The finish is cracker dry with a lingering grain finish.

Feel: light and bubbly, on the thin side but standard for a cream ale.

Drinkability/Overall: another solid if not underwhelming beer from Furthermore. The apple is present but restrained as was the pepper in their Knot Stock. I like what they're trying to do, I just feel all of their beers are too...safe. It's hard to find shelf space around here if you're not going to do something to garner interest. Best of luck to them, however.
