Sensory Description
On the nose, bright tropical aromas leap from the glass — ripe guava, sun-kissed orange peel, and the tang of passionfruit are layered over the delicate perfume of Cosmic Crisp® apples. The palate bursts with juicy fruit character, delivering waves of citrus and exotic fruit against a clean apple-driven backdrop. Refreshing acidity and a lightly tart finish balance the natural sweetness, making this a supremely drinkable cider with just the right edge. The semi-dry structure is buoyed by 2 Towns’ commitment to whole-fruit fermentation, giving the cider depth and freshness without cloying sweetness.

Producer's Background
Founded in 2010 by childhood friends Lee Larsen, Dave Takush, and Aaron Sarnoff-Wood, 2 Towns Ciderhouse helped define the new wave of American craft cider. Though based in Corvallis, Oregon, 2 Towns produces regionally in Colorado as part of its commitment to freshness and local sourcing, allowing them to maintain quality even as national distribution has grown. Head Cidermaker Dave Takush, with a background in fermentation science, leads a team dedicated to using only 100% fresh-pressed juice — never from concentrate — and integrating creative ingredients that celebrate real fruit and orchard terroir. The CosmicCrisp® line exemplifies their ethos: bold, expressive, and true to the apple.

Serving Suggestions
Serve well chilled at 38–42°F to highlight the cider’s lively acidity and vibrant fruit. A must-try for fans of tropical fruit blends or anyone looking for a refreshing alternative to beer or sweet ciders. Pairs beautifully with grilled fish tacos, citrus-marinated chicken, or spicy Thai salads. Also excellent on its own for backyard sipping, beach days, or casual get-togethers — a bright and juicy crowd-pleaser with artisan roots.
