Schilling Cider Emerald City Blackberry Pear
What the brewers say
“An ode to ripe summer fruit with bold flavors, a rich body, bright acidity, and a smooth finish. Succulent, sweet, dark, and tangy.”
What our panel thought
“Deep cherry, black currant, and light cranberry aroma. Sweet, bordering on fruit punch. The blackberry character comes across nicely; pear is subtle enough that it’s probably always going to lose that fight. High effervescence and tannic finish save it from being completely cloying.”
What our editors thought
“Broad caramel-apple notes in the aroma resolve in tighter berry notes with a tannic structure that’s still sweet.”
