CLACKAMAS, Ore. — Portland Cider Company’s brand-new seasonal cider, Huckleberry Lemonade, is bursting with the juicy taste of sun-ripened huckleberries and zesty lemon, paired with Northwest apples.
The cider is refreshing and not too sweet, with bright apple and ripe huckleberries balanced by a tart lemon finish. The deep purple cider pours beautifully and makes for a vivid addition to a cider cocktail. The cider pairs well with light seafood dishes, farm-fresh salads, and hearty cheese plates.
“Huckleberries are one of the treasures of our Northwest forests, but they can be tricky to harvest—and the bears love them as much as we do,” said Portland Cider co-owner Jeff Parrish. “We made it easier—and much safer!—to enjoy the sweet little berries by adding them to our cider.”
Huckleberry Lemonade has a 6.1% ABV and will be available until April or while supplies last in both 12-ounce 6-packs and 19.2-ounce Proper Pint cans at retailers throughout the Pacific Northwest, as well as on draft at the company’s Clackamas taproom.
Cider fans can locate Portland Cider Company’s flavors using the company’s Cider Finder online.
