Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of green and yellow apple, honeydew, citrus and lilies, gooseberry, and cassis leaf with a velvety, lively, petillant, dry medium body and an engaging, medium-length finish revealing accents of lemon, lime and lemongrass, gooseberry, and herbs. Bright apple and vibrant hops with nice fruit sweetness balanced with classic hop bitterness; try this with Sauv Blanc drinkers.

Specialty ciders include all ciders that do not fit neatly into other categories. These ciders may be barrel-aged, dry-hopped, spiced, made with single or heirloom apple varietals, fermented with an exotic or wild yeast strain, or any combination of these techniques. Ciders in this category have a diverse set of flavors, aromas and alcohol content. Most specialty ciders have seasonal or limited availability, but are becoming more readily available year-round as the category grows in popularity.
