Cider Crate Tasting Notes:
Smell: Strong aroma. Sharp cloves, cinnamon and other spices. Crisp, bright apples.
Initial Taste: Medium bite from carbonation. Starts with sharp, bright, crisp apples. A slight acidity tingles. Some sweetness that’s quickly taken over by a medley of vivid yet smooth mulling spices. Warming to the palate. Nutmeg and cinnamon shine here.
After Taste: Apple remains crisp and becomes slightly tangy. Spices remain but slowly diminish. Clove seems to be heaviest and longest lasting spice into the finish.
On ice: Reduced warmth and carbonation.
Additional Notes: Crimson Cider’s Mull It Over is a soul and palate warming mulled cider that is very flavour-forward and refreshing. The spicing in this is vivid and focuses heavily on nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon. The apple base is crisp, refreshing and bright – also very clean. The mulling spices are the most dominate from start to finish however, but overall smooth to consume.
