Call me a home-er. The fact of the matter is I will continue to give good beers, good reviews and this is just another case.

I have had nothing like this before. The nose of the beer is strong with Grandma Smith Apples, hints of cinnamon and vanilla dance around the sour green apple notes.

Close your eyes and it taste like someone blended an apple pie, and is serving it to you in a glass. The attack is filled with apples (but not like apple juice), mid-palate is the pie spices even has a hint of the crust in it, and the finish is again clean. The only thing is that the apple flavor lingers just a tad.

Time and time again, I rack my brain out to try to figure out exactly how these flavors get into the beer. Like Maple Bacon, No Crusts, and the Blueberry Cobbler the guys at the Buddha seem to preform magic on the flavor profiles of their beers.

Unlike No Crusts, I could drink this beer all night, and amazingly the wife was a larger fan!

Was super excited to try this beer and I most definitely was not disappointed.

Beer pour mud brown with a nice 1 finger creamy white head.

This is what I would imagine a kid playing in the yard would smell when mom puts a freshly baked apple pie in the window. Smells of apple, cinnamon and pie crust

Holy apple pie. This is amazing tastes just like and apple pie. Vanilla, apples, cinnamon and a spectacular pie crust flavor

Mouth feel is medium bodied and nicely carbonated

Simply put Funky Buddha rocks!!

Big thanks to Ryan for sharing this with us before it’s even released. When the guys at the Buddha make a "apple pie" beer you expect it to taste just like an apple pie and that’s exactly what they did. This is by far one of the best creations they’ve come up with thus far. Incredible aroma and flavor, apple pie all the way. Wouldn’t change a thing about this beer.
