This Specialty Cider presents an aromatic interplay between fresh-pressed West Coast apples and vibrant botanical infusions. Natural ginger root provides a sharp, warming spice that cuts through the fruit’s natural sweetness, while lemongrass adds a bright, zesty citrus lift. The 6.1% ABV offers a clean, structural foundation that supports the herbaceous complexity without adding significant heat. Its character is defined by a lively effervescence and a balanced profile that transitions from snappy ginger heat to a fragrant, lemony finish. This refreshing cider remains crisp and invigorating, showcasing a harmonious marriage of earthy spice and orchard fruit.
Appearance.Pale gold to straw yellow. Brilliant clarity with no haze. Effervescent with rapidly rising bubbles; no head retention or lacing, typical of the style.
Aroma.High aromatic intensity. Dominant notes of fresh, spicy ginger root and zesty lemongrass (citral). A clean, fresh-pressed apple base provides a fruity backdrop with subtle notes of green apple and pear. No hop or malt character; clean fermentation with no detectable sulfur or phenolics.
Taste.Initial impression is zesty and bright. Moderate apple fruitiness is quickly joined by a prominent, spicy ginger bite and a lemony, herbal lemongrass flavor. No hop bitterness or malt flavors. The balance is off-dry, with the ginger spice providing a drying effect that counteracts the natural fruit sugars. Finishes clean and crisp with a lingering ginger warmth and a refreshing citrus aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high carbonation that provides a sparkling, prickly sensation. Low alcohol warmth, though the ginger provides a mild, pleasant heat on the palate. Minimal astringency and a crisp, clean mouthfeel.
