Tasting notes
-
Nose
Apple, red grape, and light floral — orchard fruit with a soft blush-grape edge, fresh rather than perfume-heavy.
-
Palate
Juicy from the first sip. Apple and red grape carry a gently sweet mid-palate on a light, lightly spritzy frame; crisp acidity keeps the line from soft or candy-flat. Fruit leads; residual sugar rounds without sticking.
-
Finish
Clean, fruity, and lightly tart — clears without sticky hang, leaving a short orchard-fruit edge on the close.
The cider
Juicy first. The can pours blush and drinks like orchard fruit with a soft grape edge — apple on top, red grape underneath, a light floral lift that keeps it from reading as plain sweet cider. That is the bargain here: drinkability over density, fruit over structure theater.
Crisp acidity holds the gently sweet mid-palate in line. Sugar is present — Beak & Skiff rates this mid-scale — but it does not turn soda-flat; the fruit stays bright and the sip stays juicy. Light carbonation keeps the frame lively without turning into soft-drink fizz. What remains is clean and lightly tart — fruity without sticky hang. The close does not stretch; it does not need to.
Eighty-two sits on honesty: blush fruit that still smells like fruit, a light frame that empties easily, and a tart-leaning finish that clears. It will not give you dry cider tautness or a long mineral close. Serve it well chilled, straight from the can or a wine glass. Warm, the sweetness fattens and the floral note softens; cold keeps the apple bright. For a patio cooler or picnic blush cider, that juicy lightly tart line is the point.
