After sampling/judging nearly 10 ciders on Saturday, you better believe my taste buds needed a break. However, by yesterday I was ready to get back in the game. Decided to check out my first bentladder , sent to me by into.the.cider.verse . This little morsel featured Apricot & Rhubarb to go along with it`s cider-ness. Rhubarb is always strange to me, in that it`s a very finicky flavor to find... usually you can just sense it by an increased sweetness.

What I was expecting was a fruity bomb with possible apple afterthought, but I couldn`t have been more mistaken. Apple, strong and true was front and centre in this. In the mid-body, you found some undertones of apricot which, combined with a general smoothness to the liquid (not still, but not effervescent), let to quite a pleasant sipping experience. The aftersip did leave a slight metallic tingle on my tongue, but this isn`t the first canned cider in the past couple months to do this... at this point I`m wondering if that`s a subtle aftereffect of the `rona. Either way, I do say, this ranks right there as either the best, or nearly the best Ohio cider I`ve tried! And no need to break out the label maker to cover stolen monikers either! Cheers to that! π₯
