the apearance of evil

No this isn't an alcoholic beverage - like root beer isn't an alcoholic beverage - neither is this. Apple Beer is like apple cider on steroids. The color and head when poured into a mug does in fact look just like beer. That's why Brook and I poured us a tall one and drank it while sitting on the porch at Camp Bethelem. Bethlehem mind you is a Methodist camp meeting down in Bonifay, FL. We drank Apple Beer because it was tasty good - we drank in in glass to turn heads. I don't recall an adult staffer ever coming over to put a stop to the kegger going on over in front of the youth hut.
