Can from a mixed 12er @Sprouts. Pint glass back @ the Lodge. White, lingering head over a seriously chunky pale orange haze. Strong & sort of danky mint nose along with some bitting, fresh lime zest. Very cocktail-esque. First half sip, you get to touch some bittersweet cider. Before you can comprehend it, you get slapped with a heavy sock full of lime zest plus what seems like Citra, but probably isn't. Then comes the cooling mint. I love fresh mint, real mint. Anyway, the flavor is strong, so fresh it's probably back sweetened. It's so niche, but this is the best cocktail-inspired cider I've ever had. Soda level carbonation, nicely tart, lingering bitterness, whatever abv. Barely cider, so much fun.
