Golden Glow is luminous cider is crafted with vibrant orange, warming local ginger, and earthy local turmeric, all blended to light up your fall nights. It’s like a golden hour in a bottle, wrapping you in a glow that feels as good as it tastes.

Sip it, and you’ll feel the zing of ginger waking up your senses, the turmeric grounding you, and the orange adding just the right brightness to keep things balanced.

Bottle gifted to us by our new neighbors a few weeks back. Haven't had this one yet, cool. Glass mug back home with Thanksgiving in the oven.

Super pale, slight yellow tinge, very faint sediment but mostly bright. Flash of soda head.
Scent is pushing sharp pineapple & sweet n spicy ginger juice over a warm, earthy spice note ...bottle says turmeric.
Tart & sharp indifferent apple, almost no tannins. Lemon, hidden citrus peel, very bright ginger with just a pinch of heat, earthy middle-end with the wild/sidra-esque base coming through with pickled pineapple on the tail.
Crispy, quite thin, dry & super fruity. Slight sulfite headache. Very subtle slickness on the tail.

Good way to make use of an acetic base. Tasty.
