Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Strong aroma. Walnut and vanilla with mild maple elements. Slightly tart cranberry.
Initial Taste: Medium bite. Tart and light cranberry juice. Maple and nut notes are infused to the mild dry apple with some acidity and a touch of tannic elements.
After Taste: Once cranberry and apple dissipates, it becomes very walnut and vanilla featured. These elements taste maple-like also.  Medium length aftertaste.
On ice: Thinner body and cranberry. More nut and vanilla notes.

Additional Notes:  Two Blokes Fall Feel’s Cranberry Walnut Infused Cider is unique and it surprised us how strongly the walnuts and vanilla came through. It’s like breakfast in a glass, with notes of fruits, nuts and weirdly enough these elements together taste like maple notes (not a listed added adjunct). At first you get the light cranberry juice and a bit of dry apple that has some acidity to it. It then moves almost exclusively to the walnut and vanilla flavours in the finish –  strong – and as mentioned, some maple-like notes. All titular elements are strong and don’t skimp out.
