Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Strong aroma. Zesty-lime. Bitter elements.Mint with a hint of crisp apples.
Initial Taste: Light bite from carbonation. Bright mint. Semi-dank lime rind, no citrus juice elements. Mild sweet apple base.
After Taste: Apple and lime dissipates leaving a much more earthy and raw mint flavour.  Some cooling elements- including in the throat.
On ice: Reduced intensity, thinner.

Additional Notes:  The Ernest Cider Co. Mistletoe Mojito is a semi-light lime and mint-focused offering where the mint is predominant, earthy and what sticks around the entire time. Some dessert apples that are found in the standard Ernest offering, this one is easy to drink and has a unique cooling sensation in the aftertaste.
