Downeast Aloha Friday Cider

Downeast Aloha Friday Cider. The Unfiltered Craft Cider. 5.1 % ABV. Downeast Cider house, Boston, MA.

Lightly clouded, golden toned, definitely tipping to pineapple. No head at all.

In the nose: Sweet and dry at once. Pineapple-y. Oh, yeah. Sweet turns to tart. Nice.

In the mouth: Sweetness kicks it off from the start, then turns nice and dry, ending on the cool side. Quite tasty.. Tangy. Tart. Very good. Hey, I like it. It ain't bad. In fact, it's good.

Unfiltered cider with pineapple juice– tangy and fruity with a dry finish. Infused with tart, tropical juiciness and hazy memories of a semester in Hawaii many years ago. 

Downeast Original Blend Cider

Downeast Original Blend Cider. 5.1 % ABV. Downeast Cider House, Boston, MA.

Bright yellow, no head, clouded. With particulates. I know this isn't the freshest sample, I have been sitting on it, but not that long. Huh, ...well, okay.

In the nose: tart & apple-y, smelling like a good cider should.

In the mouth: More of the same. Major tart, then fading off. Slightly sweet, but consistently apple-y. Smooth and refreshing. Nothing but good ol' cider. And you can drink it.

The original unfiltered. A hard cider that tastes like apple cider. Smooth and refreshing, perfectly balanced. Like the cider your grew up drinking.
