Dan pops open the first of some offerings from Awestruck purchased on vacation, Blackberry with a Hint of Lime.

STYLE: Fruited Cider
ABV: 5.5%
AVAILABILITY: 16 oz. cans/Draft (Seasonal)


Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and website.

Pink hue with small bubble carbonation.

Earthy blackberry fruit with lime zest and juice in the background.

Sweet blackberry character with a kiss of lime acidity.

Light mouthfeel and soft carbonation allow the fruit character to shine.

This is an incredibly approachable cider, though it might be a little on the sweeter side for those that lean in that direction. Pairing-wise, I think a goat cheese or feta-based salad is an obvious choice, though lighter poultry preparations could work. Dessert-wise, ice cream, cream puffs, or straight up fruit-based items could also be fun.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
