A hot afternoon out here on the Left Coast, perfect for a cool refreshing Cider. This one is from the Common Cider Company of Auburn, California. On the label they call it Drytown. Really - a cider made in Drytown -- interesting.....
This cider pours a wonderful golden red color with the type of carbonation you see in a champagne - a small head that rapidly dissipates. A nice stream of bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass as you work your way through the glass. I've used a Champagne flute for the cider as ciders should be served in either a flute or a pilsner glass, but I thought the flute would show off the color of this Hibiscus Saison Cider well. Hibiscus - let's see that is a tropical flower that lends a sweet smell and a bit of red color to the cider. The Saison element is mostly non-existent as you don't get the typical funky flavors that you get in a Saison beer. This one is a thirst quencher, but not as complex as I imagined. One thing I do like - a low alcohol content (6.5%) that makes is easy to work your way through the 22 ounces.
