Circling the Sun cider is a tart cherry cider blend made with Ontario Montmorency Cherry juice from the Niagara escarpment, and blended with our Nature of Things cider. The flavour of fresh cherries and orchard grown apples is paired perfectly. The result is a juicy and fresh cider which is extremely well balanced, dry and is an ideal beverage for the summer.

Can. Clear yellow pour, with a small white head. Aroma is obviously tart apples, aple skins and some soft tart cherries. Crisp, clean mouth feel, with a lively carb. The finish is cherry forward with a tart apple dryness. Decent, a refreshing quaff.

Pleasantly dry and tart - surprising from a cherry cider.

Can, 0.473l. Aroma of cherries and apples. Pours clear red color with thin quickly diminishing pinkish head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts tart cherry-like and slightly vinous with mild to average sweetness. Light to medium body, thin texture and lively carbonation in palate. Sunny cherries…

Pours clear, wattery amber. Flat look - not the most appealing of views. Scent is mild red apple. Taste is fairly fruity. Apple are skin-forward, very tannic. Cherry is more hidden but provides some depth. Very clean fermentation profile, making the result a bit boring, honestly. Fairly high carbonation level. Decent as best, not due to anything off, just a lack of complexity or interesting features.

Can, thanks Hrabren! Rosé-like pinkish shiny body. Apples, fermented apple touches, some cherries. Classic cider taste, dry, clean fermented apples, green apple tartness, light sour cherry. Drinkable, very much what it says it is, light herbal touches. Nothing memorable, but quite tasty.

0.473 l can from Že v redu, Primož. Shared with little Dina and Marko. Clear reddish pink, minimal head? Ripe apple, apple candy or syrup aroma, some sugar. A soft touch of tart cherry juice. High carbonation, light body, quite drinkable, tart cherry overriding the apple in the aroma, apple peal returns in the dry finish. A bit perfumy and/or artificial but not bad overall.

Crisp, clear copper coloured body with no head at all and no real movement that lacks any sort of complexity. Aroma of dry, tart cranberry notes with some light cherry and soft sweetness, but the dry apple scent is the strongest here without any breadiness or yeast qualities either - fairly straight-forward. Light-bodied; Very crisp, dry and floral grassiness with a noticeable spice component from canella, allspice and ginger, but a cranberry and dry profile persists with a sweet finish that makes this robust and enjoyable. Aftertaste is fairly crisp with a good combination of cranberry, cherries and apple notes that is both tart and sweet, but very easy-drinking and mild that packs some good flavours and moderate complexity, but a robust bite for a cider that is enjoyable throughout. Overall, a good, but not great cider with a distinct cranberry and cherry note but an easy-drinking bite without any cloying sweetness nor bready/yeastie bite - good to sample and perhaps only better around Thanksgiving or Christmas time. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 19-May-2020 for US$4,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-July-2021.

Second cider from this brewery tonight, pouring a slightly unfiltered light red-orange colour with a light pinkish head leaving a thin layer of bubble on top. Apple nose with hints of cherries. The taste a shows a little more the cherry fruitiness over the apples, with both giving a nice sourness. Refreshing, crisp and a little sweeter than The Nature of Things cider version.

473ml can. Pours a clear amber-red with a thin, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweert fruity aroma of apple that dominates over a light cherry note. Sweet fruity flavour of red apple with a crisp, dry, tart cherry finish. Medium body with a sticky texture and lively carbonation. Refreshing and tasty. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Apple & Cherry Cider on 14 Nov 2019 at 06:17 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6. Original review text: 473ml can. Pours a clear amber-red with a small, fizzy, short lived, light pink head that laces. Sweet aroma of apple and cherry with light funk. Sweet flavour of cherry and apple skin in a dry, tart finish. Light to medium body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and easy to drink, but lacks complexity.
