The Story: Hailing from Sherborn, Massachusetts—a town boasting a rich, historic cidermaking legacy—Stormalong is deeply rooted in traditional New England apple culture. However, with Red Skies at Night, the cidermakers decided to embark on a more tropical voyage. Named after the famous nautical adage, "Red sky at night, sailor's delight," this core cider beautifully branches out from a strict apple focus. The team started with a crisp, balanced blend of classic New England apples, including Idared and Golden Delicious, and then infused the brew with a vibrant payload of passionfruit and hibiscus. This adventurous concoction pays homage to their seafaring roots while offering a modern, heavily fruit-forward twist.
Why You'll Love Me: It is an incredibly refreshing, deeply flavorful cider that beautifully bridges the gap between a classic tart apple cider and a vibrant tropical punch. It pours a striking, luminous deep pinkish-red in the glass with a lively, effervescent sparkle. The nose instantly draws you in with a lush, enticing bouquet of tropical passionfruit, sweet apples, and an earthy, floral hint of hibiscus. On the palate, it delivers a smooth, crushable, light-to-medium body. A rush of juicy, sweet-tart passionfruit dances across the tongue, perfectly anchored by the crisp apple base, before coasting into a vibrant, slightly tangy, and beautifully floral finish that is truly an absolute delight to drink.
