Schilling Cider Excelsior Mango Supernova

What the brewers say

“Mango puree imparts rich mango flavor, while adding that beautiful haze.”

What our panel thought

“Pleasant tropical fruit nose. Fruit-punchy, has a nice fresh mango character, but certainly sweet on balance and comes across more boozy fruit juice than cider. A fairly simple one-trick pony, but the mango has a nice depth of flavor that leans into passion fruit and guava.”

What our editors thought

“Sweet mango notes in the nose dominate the apple character with a bit of petit-four iced cake breadth. Very sweet in the sip, intense with a crowd-pleasing, but overly simple, sweet mango-apple flavor.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Schilling Cider Emerald City Blackberry Pear

“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.”

Schilling Cider Excelsior Imperial Apple

“Ripe-apple aroma with a touch of floral and spice, some funk. Surprisingly sweet given the nose. A solid acid punch. Medium tannins. Refined finish. Caramel notes with an aged, sherry-like character.”

Le Brun Brut Cidre De Bretagne

“Nicely balanced sweet/earthy/funky/tart apple character throughout. Slight hints of mushroom and tar enhance the tannins on the finish.”
