Style of Cider: Fruit & Botanical Hard Cider (Yuzu & Jasmine)

I am from: Sherborn, Massachusetts, USA (Crafted by Stormalong Cider)

The Story: Hailing from Sherborn, Massachusetts, Stormalong Cider has always prided itself on treating high-quality, whole apples with the utmost respect. While their roots are grounded in traditional, orchard-based cidermaking, they aren't afraid to experiment with vibrant, modern flavor combinations. Light of the Sun: Jasmine & Yuzu is a brilliant, creative evolution of their cider lineup. The cidermakers started with a crisp, carefully selected base of GoldRush, Baldwin, and Northern Spy apples. To elevate this sturdy orchard foundation into a bright, refreshing masterpiece, they harmonized it with the zesty essence of fresh lemon, lime, and yuzu juices, finally rounding out the blend with the delicate, soothing touch of jasmine green tea.

Why You'll Love Me: It is an incredibly refreshing, deeply thirst-quenching cider that drinks almost like a high-end, zesty botanical cocktail. It pours a beautifully bright, slightly hazy pale yellow in the glass with a light, lively carbonation. The nose immediately draws you in with a vibrant, aromatic burst of yuzu, fresh lemon zest, and a delicate, floral whisper of jasmine green tea. On the palate, it delivers a wonderfully smooth, easy-drinking body at an highly approachable 5.0% ABV. The tart, crisp apple base acts as the perfect canvas for the bright citrus juices, which are beautifully balanced by the subtle, earthy elegance of the green tea before coasting into a snappy, invigorating, and effortlessly clean finish.
