Ridiculously crisp violet and pink coloured body with an ever so thin pure white head that fades very quickly (per usual) with an amazing glow of ruby, pink and violet. Aroma of alcohol, apples, rhubarb, grain, light cranberries, a dose of subdued yeast and some more astringent citrus notes towards the end. Light-bodied; Dry and very sweet flavoured apples and spiced pears show with a good deal of vanilla and creamy lactose show through, but the heavy hitter is the rhubarb and tart berry notes that hit really hard especially towards the end, in a good way. Aftertaste shows a great balance between all the sweet and more noticeable apple sweetness and the tart and astringent berry and citrus notes that want to make your mouth pucker. Overall, a very nice and incredibly flavourful cider with a good spicey kick, but also showing the berries and tart notes throughout to make this complex, especially for the style. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Crystal City Wine Shop in Arlington, Virginia on 11-May-2019 for US$2,99 sampled at home in Washington on 21-May-2019.

Can - pours pinkish - nose and taste of citrus, hibiscus, apple, vanilla - medium bodied.
