Finnriver Farm (Elijah K. Swan)
Lavender Black Currant Hard Cider
Washington, USA
New label, one of their Botanical ciders; black currant and lavender flowers added. Light head in pour, some carbonation, pinpoint bubbles - wow! Black currant aroma dominates in nose, an explosion of floral and fruit flavors in mouth. Round mouthfeel, good malic (apple) crispness, dry but fruity; it’s the slightly tart black currant goodness that lingers, rolling around the palate. The botanical additions herald an even better cider- great stuff.

Again, subtlety and elegance. Ripe currants mingle with lavender, carried on juicy heirloom apples.
