Colorado-based Stem Ciders has launched a delectable new seasonal cider in the form of the 'Tangerine Whip,' a cider that lives up to its name by offering an in-your-face explosion of fresh cider flavors along with creamy notes and textures that are evocative of orange creamsicles that lit up many a childhood.
This seasonal cider makes use of some 2,400 pounds of tangerine puree per individual batch, which explains the richness of its flavors. Another truly unique aspect of the 'Tangerine Whip' is the fact that it manages to evade the use of lactose, instead making use of organic tapioca maltodextrin in order to make the delectable beverage appealing to people with lactose intolerances.
As far as flavor is concerned, this seasonal cider delivers a wave of vanilla ice cream aroma thanks to its use of potent vanilla extract, with the vanilla element interwoven with tangerine to make for a gorgeous springtime sipper.
