At Blake’s Hard Cider Co., we like spicing things up. That’s why we put dimmers on the lights in our Cider House. And it’s why we created this sweet, heated blend of habanero pepper, mango and our famous Blake’s apples. Experience a hard cider that’s really, honestly, truly like no other.

Big mango aroma with just a hint of burn from the peppers. Flavor leans more sweet than spicy with some natural pepper flavor. Would like a little more heat.

Backlog. Aroma is of apples and habanero. The flavor has some pretty spicy habanero. There’s also sweet apples. I don’t really notice the mango. It’s a well made cider though not I’m not super crazy about the spicy combo.

Tropical and pepper aroma. Taste is sweet mango with a slow burn of pepper at the end that lingers.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 8/3/19. Clear gold, slight haze, thin fizzy white head fades quickly. Aroma of dry apples and peppers. Taste is strong habanero peppers, sweet apples. Medium bodied, strong spice and heat, mild sweetness. Low carb. I don't mind peppers but this is a little over the top.

Crisp golden coloured body with a deep glow of honey and a super thin, ultra-fast dying pure white head that only stays afloat for a second. Aroma of apples of course with a light dash of mangoes and some tropical fruits, but none of the heat noticeable in the nose. Light-bodied; Super crisp apple flavour hits up front and then immediately noticeable is the heat, from the habaneros, in a perfect way - very crisp and hot, but only lasts for a few seconds, but some apples and mango flavours persist with a dry profile, some light sweetness, but a good deal of heat still noticeable, in a good way. Aftertaste shows some mild habanero heat and some that hits on the drier side, but this is all about crisp, very flavourful apples with a nice effervescence and a touch of mango tropical fruit flavour sweetness at the tail end. Overall, a very nice and distinct cider that shows nicely throughout with some crisp and unique flavours in a good way without being overpowering. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Harris Teeter in Potomac Yard (Arlington), Virginia on 30-May-2019 for US$1,87 sampled on the streets of New York, New York on 09-June-2019.

Can from Covenhoven. The grilled sandwiches are way good here. Pint glass. Pale gold. Smells like dried pear & fake mango. Tastes of sweet pears & chili flakes. Half flat. Not a bad combo honestly if I had some snacks. Weak cider, somewhat tasty beverage.

Not bad cider. The aroma is the best part. Flavors God and odd characteristic in there but overall it's pretty good. Just nice amount of heat from the pepper oh, the mango smells better than it tastes.
