Right here’s the official description for the Two Berry Dream, “Tangy & Recent, we’re coming at you with the last word crushable-thirst-quenching cider. Enter Two Berry Dream, a cider stuffed with Northwest blueberries, currants, and tons of zesty key lime. Seize a can, sit within the solar, and let the daydreams start. 5.3% ABV.”
Look: good, mulberry, no seen bubbles
I like the extreme purple-pink colour of this cider. I feel it’s greatest described as mulberry, although it definitely connects to each blueberry and black currant juices with out being as cloudy or darkish as they are often. It is a clear or good cider with nearly no seen bubbles.
Aromas: cranberry, black currants, blackberries, apple
This cider jogs my memory of a darkish berry punch. It smells like cranberry, black currants, blackberries, and apple, however no lime. The aroma makes my mouth water. I like berries.
Sweetness/dryness: candy
This cider is each candy and tart!
Flavors and consuming expertise: excessive acidity, black currant, apple, lime, cranberry
What a enjoyable deal with! I benefit from the Two Berry Dream simply and instantly. It’s tremendous sessionable! This cider has low-but-present tannins most likely from the black currant. I feel the acidity is excessive with non-apple acid, however curiously my co-taster didn’t understand the acidity as almost as vibrantly current as I did.
I can style each blackcurrant and lime, however I don’t detect plenty of blueberry taste. The lime comes out significantly within the end. The apple is current however it stays within the background. Different taste notes embrace cranberry, flowers, and minerals.
What I respect most about it has to do with its steadiness of brilliant but darkish flavors. I prefer it very a lot and would purchase this commonly if I might. The cider is excellently well-balanced and built-in. The Two Berry Dream has a comparatively low stage of sparkle for individuals who are delicate to too many bubbles.
I loved this cider with the easy pleasure of corn on the cob, and it was totally pleasant.
