"The Crowbar Commandments: #1: Sweet ciders are meh. #2: The apple shall not be confined to cold weather months. #3: Friends don't let friends pronounce habanero with a tilde."
I decided to consume this cider to go with a dinner of roasted pork loin and a vegetable salad.
The beer was poured into a pilsner glass. It has a yellow-gold color with a bunch of sediment within. Not sure if it is pieces of habanero or something else. Of course, no head or lacing to go with a cider. Aromas of lime, apple, and maybe the slightest bit of pepper.
The taste is of lime, dry apples, and habanero, exactly as advertised. I didn't expect the habanero to be so pronounced in the beer. I've had pepper beers before but the pepper was just a complement and virtually non-existent from a heat standpoint. I actually had to drink this periodically because the spice in my mouth would bring the heat. The cider is light bodied, a little on the slick side, and has low carbonation.
I wasn't big with the lime and apple combination. This is more of a gimmicky cider than one that I would recommend for regular consumption. Interesting to try, but not worth drinking the whole thing.
