Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Medium aroma. Bright mango. Sharp apple. Zesty lime.
Initial Taste: Medium bite. Tangy, zesty lime. Pulpy, sharp apple. Steady mango notes here.
After Taste: Mango becomes more noticeable and brighter. Lime is lighter but still there and more noticeable for awhile – it lingers a bit.
On ice: A little thinner and a bit less lime.

Additional Notes:  Shiny’s Mango Lime is a bright and fun tropical flavoured cider. A lively cider, it starts with some zesty and tangy lime. You also get their standard sharp apple base, and some mango notes. The lime really builds in the aftertaste, and the whole cider becomes brighter. Off-sweet, but not too sweet.
