Northwest Beer GuideThe yard work now done, we are breaking open a couple fun releases from #2townsciderhouse starting with their POG Cosmic Crisp® and finishing with their Water Wings.
Both with an apple cider base, Water Wings is made with Clementine Oranges, while POG is a tropical-inspired release with Passionfruit, Oranges, and Guava. Thoughts below.

Out of the can, POG Cosmic Crisp® produces nothing in the way of head or lacing inside the glass. Under the light, it appears pale yellow and crystal clear.
Swirling and sniffing, we recover notes of subtle bubblegum, guava, passionfruit, apple, and some honey.
Sipping, we recover many of those same notes, along with cosmic crisp apple juice, and orange zest and juice. Overall, POG Cosmic Crisp® has a medium to strong mouthfeel, noticeable alcoholic warmth, and a lingering slickness punctuated by honey and baking spices.

Out of the can, Water Wings produces nothing in the way head or lacing. Against white light, it appears yellow, almost orange -yellow with an opaqueness and some sediment on the bottom of the glass.
Swirling and sniffing, we recover notes of orange zest, floral, and apples.
Sipping, we recover those same notes, along with more of the clementine orange juice, and some tropical notes. Overall, Water Wings has a medium mouthfeel, some alcoholic warmth, and a lingering cloying character backed up with some alcoholic warmth.
