I have had limited success with Non-Alcoholic beers but maybe my luck will turn with 2 Towns Ciderhouse and their N/A Cosmic Crisp and Pacific Pineapple ciders, sorry, Sidekicks…
sidekick cc – pours a super light yellow color. tiny vinegar tang upon opening the can. apples being pressed aroma. some sweetness. nice carbonation. has that Martinelli’s sparkle to it.
sidekick pp – big pineapple aroma on this one. much like the cc. a teeny vinegar note tucked into the folds of what is essentially pineapple juice. pp does not have the carbonation balance though. Could be amped up to create the illusion of a pineapple cider.
If blind tasting, I would not have pegged either as de-alcoholed cider. I would have said both were juice. With the Cosmic Crisp being the closer to hard cider to me.
