#gifted by #2TownsCiderhouse here are our thoughts.

There’s a certain kind of spring that doesn’t ease in so much as it *erupts*—wet green, sun-struck, and impatient with anything that feels like winter. That’s the season that 2 Towns Ciderhouse captures in *Guava Get Down*, a cider that feels less like a beverage and more like weather you can drink.

Out of the can, it rises immediately—an exuberant pile of off-white foam, sun-kissed gold beneath it, settling into a pool of clear, glowing liquid gold. It’s a visual that already feels like warmth returning to skin. As the head recedes, it leaves no trace of lace behind, as if it arrived only to announce the moment and then step quietly aside.

Bring it to the nose and the cider opens in layers that feel rooted and alive. There’s rich earth first, a green-tinged grassiness that suggests orchard rows just waking up after rain. Beneath that, orchard fruit begins to emerge—familiar, grounding, and soft-edged, like apples still carrying the memory of bloom.

Then the sip: immediate continuity between aroma and palate. Guava leads the way—lush, unmistakable, tropical without excess—followed closely by that orchard fruit core that keeps everything tethered to the cider’s apple foundation. Nothing is exaggerated; everything is present.

The structure is where it finds its confidence. A strong, almost grounding mouthfeel carries the fruit forward, while a gentle alcoholic warmth unfolds through the center, like sun finally holding steady after a cloudy morning. It finishes semi-dry, lingering just long enough to remind you it was there at all—guava fading last, apples echoing behind it, both dissolving slowly into air that suddenly feels a little more like spring than it did before the first sip.

Thank you Nutella for this amazing, huge, personalized jar of Nutella as a thank you for when I celebrated NASA Artemis II and crew on splashdown day (I had Nutella cookies and maple cookies for that moment)! I’ll cherish this and I’ll share it as well. Moon joy all around!
