New arrivals don’t knock. They show up a little dusted with travel, a little charged with possibility, carrying whatever orchard, grove, or hillside they just left behind. This Monday flight is exactly that — the freshest drops to hit Peaks & Pints, five ciders still humming with first impressions, each one bringing its own accent of apple, bloom, berry, or citrus into the room.
There’s no grand theme beyond curiosity and timing, just a clean snapshot of what’s new and worth your attention right now — from sharp, orchard-true clarity to floral wanderings, bramble bursts, electric citrus, and a final tropical detour that leans just a little indulgent. Think of it less as a curated story and more as a well-packed suitcase: a handful of places, a few unexpected turns, and the quiet thrill of tasting something you haven’t met yet.
Peaks & Pints Monday New Cider Arrivals Flight
Finnriver Farm & Cidery Dry Cider
6.5% ABV | Dry Hard Cider | Chimacum, Washington
A clean line of orchard light cuts through this taster glass, where crisp apple snaps to attention and a faint, vinous lift drifts in like cool air off the Strait, the whole thing precise without feeling strict, bright without showing off — a quietly confident Finnriver pour that strips cider back to its essentials and lets the fruit speak in a clear, steady voice.
Whitewood Petal Pushers
6.5% ABV | Botanical Rosé Cider | Olympia, Washington
A soft bloom unfolds in the taster glass, hibiscus casting a rosy glow while rosehip tea threads a gentle tartness through crisp apple, Whitewood presenting the whole thing floral without drifting into perfume, grounded by a light tannic grip that keeps it honest.
Portland Cider Pacific Berry
6% ABV | Mixed Berry Hard Cider | Clackamas, Oregon
A lively swirl of Northwest berries dances through this taster glass, tart and juicy with just enough orchard backbone to keep it grounded, the fruit unfolding in layers of red and blue tones that feel equal parts picnic and forest edge. Portland Cider reminds you that the best berries never stayed politely in their rows.
Lost Giants Yuzu Mandarin
6.5% ABV | Citrus Hard Cider | Bellingham, Washington
A sharp citrus shimmer cuts through the taster glass as Lost Giants lets yuzu lead with electric brightness, mandarin following close behind with a softer, sunlit glow, the whole thing dancing atop crisp apple with a lively, tongue-tingling snap — refreshing, a little wild, and just tart enough to feel like your palate woke up and decided to pay attention.
Avid Cider Passion Fruit Tangerine Imperial
8.5% ABV | Imperial Fruit Cider | Bend, Oregon
A bright, sunlit burst of tropical mischief spills from the taster glass, passion fruit leading with tart, perfumed intensity while tangerine follows with juicy citrus sparkle, the whole thing riding a fuller, warming body that feels just a touch indulgent — Avid Cider swapping your orchard stroll for a beachside detour and you didn’t bother to turn back.
