Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Medium sweet peach smell. Hint of apple.
Initial Taste: A tart and fizzy bite that dominates the palate.
After Taste: Fleshy and juicy peach flavour follows. Slight apple hints. A candied ‘fuzzy peach’ finish.
On ice: Bite still there but the ice cuts the fizziness. Overall flavour remains almost the same, with slightly less apple flavour noticeable. Somewhat more crisp to consume on ice.

Additional Notes: Stadium Island Peach is a very refreshing and crisp, easy-to-drink cider that isn’t too sweet or sour. Its flavour is quite candied – reminding us slightly of the peach drink you can get at Tim Hortons.
