Beer of the Weekend #1,175: Cider Donut Dessert Sour

The Foxy Lady gave me a custom four-pack from Barn Town for my birthday. It included Iowa Gold (which I have reviewed before), Oktoberfest (which I forgot to take a pic of, so I’ll try that again next year), and the liquid crack that was the beer of the weekend last weekend: Cider Donut Dessert Sour, brewed by the Barn Town Brewing of West Des Moines, Iowa.

Cider Donut Dessert Sour

Serving type: 16-ounce can. “CANNED SEP 30 26” was written on the bottom edge.

Appearance: Poured into a tulip. The color was apple juice. A white, buttery, bubbly head dissipated quickly, leaving a bubbly skim.

Smell: Yummy! Apple pie to a T. It was more apple pie than apple cider donut, though it had that sugar-coated element. Lots of apple and cinnamon.

Taste: OMG tasty! Apple pie in a can. Woooo! Sweet and delicious. Made me pine for Thanksgiving dessert. Good, crushable stuff.

Fun facts about Cider Donut Dessert Sour:

• Style: Fruited sour.

• Price: Turning 44.

• Alcohol content: 5 percent ABV.

• Here is the description via the brewery website: “This Dessert Sour was conditioned on Vietnamese cinnamon, then topped off with apple juice to make it taste like everyone's favorite fall donut. Brewed with 100% Gluten Free Ingredients.”


The Quiet Man’s grade: A+.
