Crispin Introduces Limited Release: Desert Noir

Crispin Desert Noir – Limited Release Draught Cider; Back-sweetened with Agave Nectar and a touch of Prickly Pear

Minneapolis, MN, February 24, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Everybody Be Cool

Inspired by the Roadhouse vampire movie “From Dusk Till Dawn” Crispin Desert Noir is a Limited Release draught oak barrel aged cider. Desert Noir blends apple-wine aged in Tennessee Whiskey Barrels with apple-wine aged in red wine oak barrels then back-sweetened with Agave Nectar and a touch of Prickly Pear Nectar.

From Dusk Till Dawn

Rugged. Provacative. Exotic vampire-dancers with pythons. Crispin Desert Noir is reminiscent of a walk in the desert at night, a leap of faith, a little bit scary. Crafted as an ode to schlock-horror movies and guitar-driven rock and roll, Desert Noir is available in select better-beer bars, for a limited time.

ABV: 6.7%

Mouthfeel: Sensually silky upfront with a clean soft finish that lingers.

Appearance/Color: Deep gold that hints toward the last respite of sunset

Aroma: Clover honey with hints of anise & whiskey

Hints of whiskey, sweetness of Agave nectar, and a tad prickly pear. A pour of the filtered cider is dark gold in appearance.

The Greatest Cider Adventures

"We craft adventurous ciders, ciders that are breakthrough in terms of craft and concept. In Desert Noir we have combined swagger and sexiness, and it’s a cider that rocks. We are inspired by far more than a traditional cider-making heritage, and outlaw pulp-fiction movies are part of that," says Bruce Nissen, Crispin Chief Operations Officer and Head Cider-Maker.
