Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Medium aroma of sweet passionfruit. Some dessert apples. Clean
Initial Taste: Minimal bite. Blend of dessert apple that is creamy and juicy and fresh, forward passionfruit. Both balanced
After Taste: Apple reduces becomes slightly more dry and more passionfruit forward.  Slight earthy elements in aftertaste in a semi-lingering fashion.
On ice: Carbonation reduced, slight flavour reductions

Additional Notes:  Yips Cider’s Yip Trip cider is a passionfruit and dessert apple blend that is both light and evenly balanced.  Not overpowering, but with a nice, juicy and slightly fresh fruit forward blend. Passionfruit is very authentic, somewhat sour with a hint of sweetness, but not too intense – with a touch of earthiness at the end to let you know it’s the real deal fruit. Sweetness seems pushed up by the passionfruit but not sugary.
