Cider Crate Tasting Notes:
Smell: Medium aroma. Sweet, creamy peach. Dessert apples with some brightness.
Initial Taste: Light bite from carbonation. Sweet fleshy peach with a dessert apple base that is slightly bright. Somewhat clean
After Taste: Apple dissipates and becomes a bit more smooth. Peaches linger for a long time – including some white peach characteristics that emerge.
On ice: Thins-out but similar.
Additional Notes: The Life’s a Peach by Hard Way Cider Company is a step away from their traditionally barrelled offerings. A sweet peach cider that’s has some flesh elements and it has a long lingering primary focus in the aftertaste. Some bright dessert apples compose the base of the cider. Clean and bright it’s easy to consume.
