Standing within the new Plymouth tap-room house of the Excessive Limb cider firm, VP of promoting Mary Kate Byrne asks a poignant seasonal query.
“Do you want pumpkin?” she says, making ready to crack a can of Excessive Limb cider flavored with the autumn favourite. “Pumpkin’s like a really controversial factor.”
Regardless of my beer-snob credentials I do like pumpkin-flavored drinks, and having tasted Excessive Limb’s model, you must prefer it, too.
“There’s nothing extra primary than pumpkin-spice something,” Byrne continues. “However that’s why we now have ours fermented on the precise flesh of the gourds themselves.
“We’re truly hand-chopping and roasting butternut squash and pumpkins, with pumpkin spice seasoning on the flesh of those greens, which provides it that true pumpkin taste versus that sugary taste different manufacturers have.”
The Core Sequence features a cider referred to as “The OG,” made with Massachusetts apples like MacIntosh, Gala, Fuji, and Golden Scrumptious. There’s a lightweight collection (fewer energy) and a Batch collection, from which the newest cider is a mix referred to as “New England,” made with raisins and brown sugar.
Whereas there was numerous discuss in the course of the tasting about Excessive Limb tamping down the sweetness of their ciders, most of what I attempted remains to be fairly a bit sweeter than what I want (assume Downeast, relatively than Shacksbury, Artifact, or tiny craft shops like West County). Private choice apart, a very good portion of the ingesting populus might find yourself discovering a bit of sweetness to be extra accessible.
