Cloudy golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of fresh guava, tropical fruit cup, and orange peel with a silky, tart, spritzy, dryish medium body and a tingling, compelling, long finish that exhibits touches of orange, tangerine, and pickled mango, flintstone’s vitamin, and under ripe mango. A full frontal of tropical lychee, bright and serious; takes no prisoners.

Specialty ciders include all ciders that do not fit neatly into other categories. These ciders may be barrel-aged, dry-hopped, spiced, made with single or heirloom apple varietals, fermented with an exotic or wild yeast strain, or any combination of these techniques. Ciders in this category have a diverse set of flavors, aromas and alcohol content. Most specialty ciders have seasonal or limited availability, but are becoming more readily available year-round as the category grows in popularity.
