Ready for a rematch? Cider, meet Nelson. Topspin is a bone dry cider that brings the thunder with fresh Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand. The nelson lets you know it's there to play without hitting you over the head or putting you under the table. We built this cider to be the perfect pair for casual recreation. Drink cold and fresh.

16oz can pours out hazy straw topped with a small head. Nose is light grassy citrus hops and crisp green apples. Taste is more of the nice light hops citrus green apple kick.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clear straw color with almost no head. Strong Nelson Sauvin aromas with all gooseberry, vinous and sweaty notes I love in Nelson. Crisp and clean cider on the palate. Nice carbonation, slightly funky as it warms...aged apple, crab apple with more gooseberry and sweaty funk. Dry finish as with most of Shacksbury's ciders. Big improvement over the first Ping Pong and the hop takes more of a center role.

Can from the local beer fridge. Pint glass. Half sizzle & sulking, oily, foggy yellow/orange brew. Smells of dry apples, pee & tropical fruit. Strong. Tastes of bitter lime rind, orange, apple, vodka, yeast. A bit gunky & thick. Carbonation dies fast. Not my favorite dry hop.
