Pale yellow color, slight lemon zest aroma. Taste is very sweet cider, any lemon is overpowered by the sweetness.

Lucky Matcha from Island Folk Cider House

Pale yellow color, cider aroma. Flavor is sweet but has a dry finish and aftertaste. Can’t distinguish matcha or yuzu, maybe that is the sweetness and dryness influencers.

Lil’ Besties from Island Folk Cider House

Pale yellow color with a chili pepper aroma. Taste is bell pepper and tropical mango. A little bit of pepper heat at the finish. Not a fan of pepper in cider, not as delicious as pepper in beer.
