Description
Key lime pie as a hard cider sounds like a gimmick until you taste it. We crack open Windridge Imperial Key Lime Pie (8.3% ABV) and get smacked with bright lime, dessert sweetness, and a tangy edge that honestly drinks closer to a sour beer than most ciders. We talk real tasting notes, how the “semi-sweet” label lands, and why high-ABV craft cider can be way more dangerous than it looks when it’s this crushable.
Then the hang turns into story time: Ricky recaps a 38-mile canoe camping trip where the wind can push you backward if you stop paddling, plus all the little details that make an outdoor weekend feel earned. From steaks and sausages to a one-pan chicken, bacon, cheddar pasta that’s actually worth making at home, we keep it practical, opinionated, and very on brand for a drinks podcast that loves food as much as it loves the pour.
In the second half, we switch to Windridge Imperial Baked Apple and chase that apple pie and cinnamon profile that screams campfire season. We even dig into where the cidery is in Pennsylvania and what else we’d try from their variety pack, before jumping into “Ricky’s Bad Choices,” a rapid-fire card game that takes the conversation off the rails in the best way.
