This non-alcoholic Specialty Cider offers a vibrant sensory profile defined by the bright, crisp character of freshly picked apples. The inclusion of locally grown blueberries introduces a juicy, tart berry burst that dominates the palate and adds a floral complexity to the aroma. It achieves a pleasant balance between its medium-sweet fruit core and a refreshingly high acidity, ensuring the finish is clean and lively. The effervescent carbonation elevates the fruit flavors, delivering a concentrated expression of orchard and forest fruits without the weight or warmth of alcohol, resulting in a light and invigorating beverage.
Appearance.Pale purple in color with brilliant clarity; features a lively, highly carbonated fizz that forms a brief, thin white head that dissipates quickly without lacing.
Aroma.Moderate intensity with dominant notes of fresh-cut green apples and subtle, sweet blueberry skin; clean and purely fruit-driven with no detectable yeast-derived esters or sulfur compounds.
Taste.Initial impression is of sweet, ripe blueberries followed immediately by a sharp, tart apple base; medium sweetness is well-supported by a refreshing acidity. The flavor is clean and simple, leading to a short, refreshing finish with an aftertaste of mixed fruit juice.
Mouthfeel.Light body with a prickly, high carbonation that creates a stinging, fizzy sensation on the tongue; no alcohol warmth is present, and the texture is clean with no astringency.
