My Feedback:

A very bright citrusy nose and I get Mandarin Oranges and starfruit. Though effervescent it immediately dissipates into a nice dry feel. The pull on this is unique, as even though the bubbles give it a little zing, it still has a smooth viscosity to it that pulls you in. You next get some lovely tartness with a ton of tannins that coat the inside of your mouth in a dry wave. You then get this curious citrusy finish that is both tropical and bitter at the same time. And yet, it is bright and drinkable despite its very dry nature. This is a cider that really prepares the palate and begs to be paired so that it could elevate food by brightening the palate. In fact, I’d say this is the ideal drink to replace the mimosa for the cider purist and cider curious alike. I’m pretty sure the citrusy brightness and dry bubbly magic could be put up against any mimosa despite the fact that it comes from just a single apple varietal. Cider drinkers, you now know what to bring to your next brunch to impress you friends.
