Tasting: 2 new ciders from San Francisco's Fort Point Beer Co. -- Delicate and subtle, with a refreshing lack of gimmickry. cider hardcider craftbeer
It’s an interesting experience, as a veteran beer writer, to sample the product lineup of a longtime, successful and large-scale brewing operation that just so happens to represent a part of the country where you’ve never really traveled. Tasting some of the beer from San Francisco’s Fort Point Beer Co.
That was enough to get me to bite, so I request some samples. So without further ado, let’s get to tasting some California cider, which is not something I’m certain I’ve ever tasted before.Super Dry is described as “perfectly balanced dry cider,” an unflavored flagship for Fort Point’s cider program that hews as closely to the core tenets of American cider as possible.
Those feel like flavors that could go wrong, or obnoxious, pretty easily, but the result in Super Natural is actually quite subtle and delicate. This is clear from the color alone, which does have a delicate pink blush, but none of the brash, vivid pink it’s easy to get from larger amounts of hibiscus. To me, this suggests a delicate hand at work. On the nose, this one is lightly perfumey and pleasant, with faint berry fruitiness and citrus.
