It's been a bearable weekend temperature-wise, but it sounds like the next week is going to get shitty. I have a possible antidote with a nice cider, a Spanish one to boot. The Good Cider pops up occasionally in the stores, although not always the Wild Berry version. This time is was right by the door of Más Que Cervezas, although towards the bottom shelf. Since the place is small and there were people browsing before me, I had a little motivation to check out every little thing. There were plenty of other interesting beers, and a couple did make it into the bag, but a berry cider every once in a while is definitely a treat.
It's a totally appetizing reddish cider, slightly transparent and fruity scented, not quite like wine but something similar. It's oddly not sweet, a little tart actually, but light and refreshing. Years ago I had a berry mead that had a flavor along the same lines, but was much heavier. The cider is something of a British style, with the sweetness and the smoothness, but it's not quite as syrupy as a lot of them are. It's not a particularly complex or surprising flavor, almost like a spiked Kool-Aid in fact, but it is undeniably nice.
