Sensory Description:

Bright apple notes define the palate, offering both crisp freshness and a gentle suggestion of baked orchard fruit. Subtle cinnamon and clove emerge mid-palate, lending warmth and a lightly spiced complexity without overwhelming the seltzer’s clean structure. The carbonation is lively and refreshing, carrying the fruit and spice interplay through a dry, lifted finish that remains light yet expressive, with a balance that leans toward a seasonal, mulled-fruit character while retaining a distinctly modern, sessionable style.

Producer’s Background:

Second Dawn Brewing Co. takes its name from both place and philosophy, referencing Aurora, meaning dawn in Latin, and the idea of a “second dawn” as the moment when daily obligations give way to enjoyment. The brewery positions itself as a conduit for that transition, crafting beverages intended to mark the shift into relaxation and personal time, emphasizing accessibility, creativity, and a welcoming sense of escape.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve well chilled at 4 to 6°C in a stemless wine glass or highball to highlight aromatics and effervescence. Pair with roasted pork, apple-glazed chicken, spiced nuts, or light desserts featuring baked fruit to echo and elevate the seltzer’s orchard and spice profile.
