City Roots Cider is a new(ish) cider brand from Mass. Bay Brewing, better known as Harpoon Brewery, and yesterday I received four cans of its latest seasonal offering, Evergreen Farmhouse Cider. I don’t know much about the brand, but here’s a bit from the press release for the cider:

City Roots, a new craft cider brand that launched in the summer of 2019, is announcing its first-ever winter seasonal: Evergreen Cider. The new cider was made to help us celebrate the best of winter, but from the comfort of indoors and away from the winter city winds.

Evergreen Cider is fermented completely dry using a Nordic farmhouse yeast strain and conditioned on juniper needles, making it crisp and peppery with notes of citrus zest, winter herbs, and cold forest air. It comes in at 6% ABV, with 7g of carbs and 2g of sugar.

I’m reasonably certain I have not had a juniper-conditioned cider before, so I’m definitely interested in tasting this one and will share my notes when I do.
