Cider Crate Tasting Notes:
Smell: Mild aroma. Sweet, fleshy apple smell, among slight floral aromas. Candied in nature.
Initial Taste: No bite. Smooth floral taste (especially hibiscus) that’s slightly candied. Sweet apple – with some peel flavour. Grapefruit and honey dew notes. Somewhat tangy.
After Taste: Candied floral taste remains and lingers, especially hibiscus. Apple flavour mostly gone. Becomes more wine-like in taste and feel. Semi-dry finish
On ice: Less carbonation and less tangy. Reduced flavour and mouth feel.
Additional Notes: Angry Orchard’s Rosé Cider has a lot of rosé wine characteristics, but it is still its own cider creation, with a noticeable apple presence – especially in the front of the drink. With a very unique floral aspect, the added hibiscus is strong and drives the drink from start to finish.
