My Feedback:

Rev. Nat’s Saint Citron has an orangish gold color and is slightly hazy. You can smell the citrus as soon as you crack open the can! There is a mélange of citrus flavors in the nose, and just a bit of ginger to bring it back down to earth. With that nose you prepare for a bright and tart flavor, but it is unexpectedly heavy and the pull on it is really smooth. It is a choir singing a medley of citrus notes that any saint would be proud of. But this is one of those salt-of-the-earth kinds of saints, I mean that literally too as the saltiness pulls the brightness of the citrus way back. You should not expect some bold, single-note, citrusy drink here. If you drink it slowly it is quite complex with all of those tasting notes mentioned in his discovery story: sweet, bitter, salty, sour, juicy, pithy and aromatic. Now, I am no expert on Mayan Farming techniques, but I am not picking up much apple flavor, if any at all. In fact, there is little about this that tastes like an apple cider, it comes across as a whole other genre of beverage, like a light-bodied orange liqueur. If that sounds good to you, try this out. If you’re an apple cider purist, give this a pass.

Product Description:

My newest cider is inspired by mid-century Italian cocktails and combines the flavors of citrus and salt to quench any thirst. Dried black Persian limes, lemon zest, kumquats and French sea salt evoke memories of salted lemonade, gose-style beer, and every other must-drink beverage.
