McIntosh, Golden Russet, and a blend of French apples captivate with their intricate and evocative flavors. Each sip reveals layers of apple skins and pure joy, mingling with the earthy essence of smooth river rock. Delicate hints of jasmine intertwine with the refreshing, crisp notes of melon rind, creating an experience that is both invigorating and serene. A cider that received the first perfect score in a blind tasting at Northwest Cider cup. Sophisticated but not pretentious; life changing but not precious.
This is a cider blend of different single varietals.

Brown 750 from Press. A bit more than I wanted to spend but they talked it up & gave a tiny discount. A few weeks in the fridge, lo-ball glass at home after a wasted day at work.
Good cork snap. Translucent orange amber pour with a quick soda head; active. Just a weak bit of protein fog in the clarity.
Floral, sharp nose. 7up citrus & new leather, touch of fresh butter. Bittersharp meets bittersweet; Cedar. A touch round & subdued on the warmer second pour.
Bittersharp taste leaning sweet with a strong cooked down citrus rind bitterness. Snappy reds, oaky russets, no idea what the French varieties are but they're pedestrian & mellow-low in tannins, like watery iced tea. Lingering ginger brightness. Earthy russet & honey graham once the carb dies down(it sort of dies too fast in my glass). A touch of vanilla on my burps. There is some popsicle stick on the tail. No funk.
Excited & overtly crispy, candy sweet-tartness, medium acid, a warmth of booziness.
I think it's a great bridge into real cider, ...sorry, it is a real cider, just tamed, force-carbed with guardrails & its tits propped up a bit. Makes a great quaff, if you can afford it ($22 local, $28 online+ship).
Tasty.
