![]() ![]() Sweet without being cloying, a touch of tart/acid at the back, some apple skin that finishes dry. Taste: Pineapple juice, fresh-cut pineapple with earthy rind. Tropical note of warm fruit salad, kind of a Waldorf salad thing going on with green apple. Smell: Bright pop of tart passionfruit, and some sweet pineapple juice. The pineapples are sourced from Costa Rica, apparently.Īppearance: Crystal clear golden color, bright, lightly sparkling. Northwest apples and ripe Yellow Maracuya passion fruit come together to create a deliciously complex imperial profile that’s ready to engage vacay mode whenever you are. Tangy & loud, Tropical Mayhem comes in like a wrecking ball to knock out the stress of adulting. Needless to say, everyone could use a bit of a break, even if just for a little bit. Plans changed, vacations cancelled, and the stress of a pandemic plus every day adulting has never been higher. The cidery sent me a couple of bottles last month, and I felt this opening paragraph from the press release maybe more than any other PR/description this year: It’s not every day a 9% ABV cider (or beer, for that matter) gets added to the year-round lineup, but that’s what 2 Towns did with Tropical Mayhem. Tropical Mayhem – Imperial Passionfruit Pineapple Cider If you like key lime pie, this is one to look for when it comes back around. Overall: Really good, fresh and bright and almost dessert-like. Mouthfeel: Light, semi-petillant, quite clean, with a sweet and lightly apple-y aftertaste. Really nice and clean with a burnt sugar and lime sweetness (think broiled grapefruit). Taste: Bright, sweet in a key lime pie (curd) direction, refreshing and lightly tart in a juicy way that makes the apple pop. Smell: Gentle lime zestiness over a caramel-sweet note, with a subtle fresh fruity character that’s almost spicy. Lightly bubbly with slow but steady bubbles. ![]() Truly every sip is like going on the vacation we all wish we were on right now.Īppearance: Clear, bright gold color. The profile is business up front and a party in the back, with a pop of sweet agave and apple flavor that cuts at the end to a deliciously sharp citrus tang. One whiff and you suddenly find yourself lazily sitting in the shade of a hot, sandy beach with emerald waves leisurely rolling their way to shore. With an exceptionally aromatic profile, the fresh-pressed apple juice blends beautifully with the agave and lime aromas. This lime-ited release is sure to help make your next summertime adventure your best one yet!Īnd for a bit more, here’s a longer pull from the press release: It was an easy-drinking 5.6% ABV and the website description reads:įresh & Tangy, let the Good Limes Roll with this easy-drinking cider crafted with fresh-pressed apples, key lime & organic blue agave. Good Limes Roll was included in the package I received from the cidery over the summer that included the aforementioned mead and wine. I’ve got a number of reviews for the cidery in the queue, but for this post I’m focusing on two of 2 Towns’ fruited ciders released this year-the first a limited summer seasonal, the other a new year-round cider.įrankly, both were just excellent, super drinkable ciders, and it feels like 2 Towns has really perfected the “cider with other fruit” concept. The Corvallis, Oregon cider maker has rolled out several new ciders in 2020, not to mention picking up Nectar Creek Mead and partnering on a canned wine. OctoBy Jon Abernathy | Filed in Cider, ReviewsĢ Towns Ciderhouse is on a roll this year, and that’s only a little bit pun intended (see first review).
