This seasonal cider blends fruity rooibos tea with aromatic cinnamon and honey from Bee Natural Apiaries in Roberts Creek, BC where the bees use the nectar from blackberry and clover flowers. It's rich, warming and a touch sweet - perfect for sipping while you watch the rain fall outside your window.

750ml @ SF shared with almost full gang (missing two biggest guys only).
Aroma: apple pie, some apples seeds, a bit artificial and grainy.
Taste: along the same lines.
Overall: meh.

750mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out rooibos, gentle honey, crisp apple skins, and a touch of cinnamon. Flavour has plenty of spiced apple, cinnamon, rooibos tea, with low-to-moderate sugars on the finish. Not much complexity, but at least it’s not sweet. Integrated; pleasant.

Bright gold. Has a spicy apple note, lots of cinnamon. Good apple, fairly sweet, cinnamon, with a bit of ginger. I don't get a ton of rooibos. It's decent, but eating apples seem to be a thing here. Lacks complexity and dryness.

On tap at Threefold. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Lots of grassy rooibus, gentle spice, earthy honey, and apple skins on the nose. Flavour has apple cores, plenty of rooibus, herbal, some residual honey-like sweetness. It's okay. I don't love the apple expression and the rooibus is very present, but overall not terrible.
As it warms it smells like a Fisher Price toy. Lovely.
