Climb Hard Cider
Grade: 83 B
Climb Hard’s Cranberry has a reddish amber color and a light nose with just a little tartness detected, coming from the cranberries. This is fairly sharp on the tongue at first with a good amount of acidity. The second phase and finish is mostly tart, stemming rom the clear cranberry flavor and is not very sweet. In fact, it has a straightforward cranberry flavor throughout that is tart and pretty acidic, but very drinkable. While it is not amazing cider, nor very nuanced, this is a quality drink to be proud of and worth a try.
Pureed cranberries produce a fresh, tart flavor, which is met with the pleasant taste of semi-sweet apples. This sparkling cider finishes crisp and clean.
