Summer calls for something cold and tart that goes down easy. Blackberry Lime is a crowd-pleasing banger that marries apple and berry with a hint of lime and smoked sea salt. Throw a straw in the can or, dare we say it, pour over ice.

Canned 2/3/25, drunk 11/19/25, as pictured.
Somewhat hazy, unfiltered, rose-purple-pink.
Nose is SWEET, but not unrefined sugar or gross, syrupy cloying sugariness. The adjuncts are there, but surprisingly delicate; or approaching delicate, at least.
In the mouth it's sweet, though not as much as the nose suggests, with very tastefully-done adjunct. Can't get at the apple too well, just a vague juicy sweetness, and the yeast seems rather clean and boring, but it's well-done for what it is. If this is what it takes to keep your cidery in business, you could do A LOT worse.

Single from City Swiggers. Alan didn't recognize me, he seemed a little preoccupied. LaGuardia, a day to settle, Duvel glass @home. Murky, dark lemon black tea, lingering froth. Red grape skins, jammy black berry, I suspect back sweetening or natural flavors. Taste is more uniform. Still plenty jammy, but mellow skin, decent tartness, earthy sharp apples, weak lime, subtle sweetness, tea tannins, hard to find the sea salt, lingering Flinstone grape vitamins. Itchy texture, not enough carb. Tis just okay.
