SALTED PINEAPPLE PERRY ~ POMMIES

This seems to be a one off, made for Ontario Craft Cider week---too bad! Sampled on draught this perry poured a hazy pale lemony yellow. Lots of pineapple with a more subtle pear on the nose. The first sip is loaded with robust sweet tangy pineapple then a complement of subtle saltiness is present., giving it an almost nutty flavour. The cider itself is quite sweet and the finish is off dry. The sweet and salty are nicely balanced and the flavour seems to fill your mouth. I am not so much a cider person, but these gose and cider cross pollinations are to die for I hope to see more of this style appear.
