Transcontinental presents a complex, bone-dry profile that bridges the gap between American dessert apples and traditional cider fruit. The inclusion of Goldrush apples provides a sharp, vibrant acidity and citrus-like brightness, while the Bittersweet and bittersharp varieties from Washington contribute essential structure and a subtle phenolic depth. Fermented with wine yeast in stainless steel, the aromatic profile is clean and vinous, highlighting fresh-pressed juice and floral esters. This Contemporary Cider showcases a refined balance of acidity and tannic grip, finishing crisp and refreshing with a lingering apple-skin character that reflects its multi-regional heritage.
Appearance.Brilliant clarity with a pale gold hue. Highly effervescent with a fleeting white head that dissipates rapidly to a fine rim.
Aroma.High intensity of fresh, tart green apples and citrus-like zest. Clean wine yeast esters provide a floral, vinous backdrop, while the bittersweet apple components add a very light, earthy phenolic complexity.
Taste.Sharp, bright malic acidity from Goldrush apples leads the palate, followed by a nuanced, earthy apple skin flavor. The profile is bone-dry with no perceptible residual sugar. Mild tannic bitterness provides structure, leading to a crisp, tart, and very clean finish with a lingering pomaceous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with brisk, moderate-to-high carbonation that prickles the tongue. A light, pleasant astringency from the bittersweet tannins adds a drying grip to the mouthfeel. Very low alcohol warmth.
