A taste of Autumn

One Sensation at a Time

By Dana CrandellPublished about a year ago 1 min read
Brewed and photographed by author and his wife. Tilt caused by table, not partaking.

Color and clarity invite my hand.

Cool and smooth the reward as it answers the call.

The “pop” confirms contents will be far from bland.

Pouring slowly, releasing aromas of fall.

Caramel Apple Perfection tingles on my tongue.

***

I know, I've used the photo before, but this brew is just toooooo purdy! Side note (Squirrel!): I've considered making a non-alcoholic version. It's that good! (I probably should have trademarked the name...)

Thanks for reading!

    "Color and clarity invite my hand." This reminds me of whiskey shopping :) Awesome poem, Dana! This was a great description of looking at the first glass of cider of the year

    Oh yeah, I'm ready to kick back with a few of these bottles around a campfire :) You'd have to bring out your guitar! You and Pam sure do make some good looking booze.
