About This Beer

Ever heard of a lingonberry? A relative to blueberries and cranberries, sweet-tart lingonberries recall the taste of Scandanavian jams. But native peoples in North America have been enjoying them for thousands of years! The Cider experts at Seattle’s Greenwood Cider sourced apples from wild trees and abandoned orchards to create today’s semi-dry Cider, then added lingonberries for a pop of bright, jammy fruitiness.

Tasting Notes

Brothers Andy and Ryan Short and their friend Marshall Petryni, the founders of Greenwood Cider, had an unexpected start — with apples leftover from a CSA fruit box that didn’t get picked up! A few fermenting sessions later and they were on their way to creating a whole lineup of artisanal Ciders.

I was surprised at the funkiness in the cider base – not my favorite style. But the lingonberry brightens and “cleans” it up. This would be really great in summer.

Not too sweet, not too dry, not overpoweringly fruity or berry flavored. A well balanced easy to drink and enjoyable cider.

Sweet berry scent. Light-bodied. Cranberry-like flavor. Somewhat bitter and medicinal.
