Northwest Beer GuideThe yard work now done, we are breaking open a couple fun releases from <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/2townscider?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#2townscider</a> starting with their POG Cosmic Crisp® and finishing with their Water Wings.<br>
Both with an apple cider base, Water Wings is made with Clementine Oranges, while POG is a tropical-inspired release with Passionfruit, Oranges, and Guava. Thoughts below.<br>

Out of the can, POG Cosmic Crisp® produces nothing in the way of head or lacing inside the glass. Under the light, it appears pale yellow and crystal clear.<br>
Swirling and sniffing, we recover notes of subtle bubblegum, guava, passionfruit, apple, and some honey.<br>
Sipping, we recover many of those same notes, along with cosmic crisp apple juice, and orange zest and juice. Overall, POG Cosmic Crisp® has a medium to strong mouthfeel, noticeable alcoholic warmth, and a lingering slickness punctuated by honey and baking spices.<br>

Out of the can, Water Wings produces nothing in the way head or lacing. Against white light, it appears yellow, almost orange -yellow with an opaqueness and some sediment on the bottom of the glass.<br>
Swirling and sniffing, we recover notes of orange zest, floral, and apples.<br>
Sipping, we recover those same notes, along with more of the clementine orange juice, and some tropical notes. Overall, Water Wings has a medium mouthfeel, some alcoholic warmth, and a lingering cloying character backed up with some alcoholic warmth.<br>
