1/3/2024 0 Comments Two towns made marionOverall: Another excellent cider, full of passionfruit and pineapple and it hides the alcohol well (it comes out a bit more as it warms). Mouthfeel: Semi-sweet with a dry finish, touch of alcohol heat at the back, semi-petillant. Some alcohol notes but nothing too pronounced. Fresh fruit, passionfruit syrup almost like a tropical cocktail with lots of fresh fruit and juice character. Sweet without being cloying, a touch of tart/acid at the back, some apple skin that finishes dry. Taste: Pineapple juice, fresh-cut pineapple with earthy rind. Tropical note of warm fruit salad, kind of a Waldorf salad thing going on with green apple. Smell: Bright pop of tart passionfruit, and some sweet pineapple juice. The pineapples are sourced from Costa Rica, apparently.Īppearance: Crystal clear golden color, bright, lightly sparkling. Northwest apples and ripe Yellow Maracuya passion fruit come together to create a deliciously complex imperial profile that’s ready to engage vacay mode whenever you are. Tangy & loud, Tropical Mayhem comes in like a wrecking ball to knock out the stress of adulting. Needless to say, everyone could use a bit of a break, even if just for a little bit. Plans changed, vacations cancelled, and the stress of a pandemic plus every day adulting has never been higher. The cidery sent me a couple of bottles last month, and I felt this opening paragraph from the press release maybe more than any other PR/description this year: It’s not every day a 9% ABV cider (or beer, for that matter) gets added to the year-round lineup, but that’s what 2 Towns did with Tropical Mayhem. Tropical Mayhem – Imperial Passionfruit Pineapple Cider If you like key lime pie, this is one to look for when it comes back around. Overall: Really good, fresh and bright and almost dessert-like. Mouthfeel: Light, semi-petillant, quite clean, with a sweet and lightly apple-y aftertaste. Really nice and clean with a burnt sugar and lime sweetness (think broiled grapefruit). Taste: Bright, sweet in a key lime pie (curd) direction, refreshing and lightly tart in a juicy way that makes the apple pop. Smell: Gentle lime zestiness over a caramel-sweet note, with a subtle fresh fruity character that’s almost spicy. ![]() Lightly bubbly with slow but steady bubbles. Truly every sip is like going on the vacation we all wish we were on right now.Īppearance: Clear, bright gold color. The profile is business up front and a party in the back, with a pop of sweet agave and apple flavor that cuts at the end to a deliciously sharp citrus tang. One whiff and you suddenly find yourself lazily sitting in the shade of a hot, sandy beach with emerald waves leisurely rolling their way to shore. With an exceptionally aromatic profile, the fresh-pressed apple juice blends beautifully with the agave and lime aromas. This lime-ited release is sure to help make your next summertime adventure your best one yet!Īnd for a bit more, here’s a longer pull from the press release: It was an easy-drinking 5.6% ABV and the website description reads:įresh & Tangy, let the Good Limes Roll with this easy-drinking cider crafted with fresh-pressed apples, key lime & organic blue agave. Good Limes Roll was included in the package I received from the cidery over the summer that included the aforementioned mead and wine. I’ve got a number of reviews for the cidery in the queue, but for this post I’m focusing on two of 2 Towns’ fruited ciders released this year-the first a limited summer seasonal, the other a new year-round cider.įrankly, both were just excellent, super drinkable ciders, and it feels like 2 Towns has really perfected the “cider with other fruit” concept. ![]() The Corvallis, Oregon cider maker has rolled out several new ciders in 2020, not to mention picking up Nectar Creek Mead and partnering on a canned wine. OctoBy Jon Abernathy | Filed in Cider, ReviewsĢ Towns Ciderhouse is on a roll this year, and that’s only a little bit pun intended (see first review).
