This ruby red cider is made from Granny Smith apples and blackberries; it is 8% alcohol.

It is tangy and robustly-hued with the snap of green apples and the bracing burst of tart blackberries. Dry and fizzy it has wonderful vibrancy and good dose of purple fruit punch and is also concentrated and delicious.

Pours a muddy red, stormy carbonation, modest foam. Earthy blackberry aroma, butter to be sure, should be more refined. Flavour is a deep chewy blackberry, like IHOP syrup; soft apple notes help to sharpen it. Good carbonation. I can't complain, the blackberry character is quite striking and I'd be hard pressed to find a similar flavour amongst BC ciders.

Looks gorgeous, with a bright magenta sort of colour. But the addition of the blackberry has introduced some unwanted wonky diacetyl stuff. Lots of berry, lots of fruit, but not to my taste with that off-note.
