Episode # 374: Awestruck Blackberry

Life On Tap Episode #374: Awestruck Blackberry (Awestruck Blackberry with a Hint of Lime)

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

Awestruck 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.

Appearance

Pink hue with small bubble carbonation.

Aroma

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

Taste

Sweet blackberry character with a kiss of lime acidity.

Mouthfeel

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

Overall

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.
