Apples sourced from Nichols' Farm & Orchard of Marengo, IL – A mix of Nichols' early season, high acid apples, highlighted by their flavorful, floral Cox’s Orange Pippin. The result is a bright, funky, sparkling dry cider with moderate tannins—a colonial farm cider fitting of our first Estate Series blend.

Bottle. Pours with a crystal clear pale yellow hued body with a white head that fizzes away. Aromas are of earthy and slightly funky fermentation notes, light sulfur, a touch of rubber. Grassy, juicy apple character, smells high tannin. Flavors are dry, medium tart, and somewhat tannic. Bright carbonation, some funky notes, light orange, grass, tannin, doughy, light sulfur. Sharp and distinct with acid and tannin. A bit carbonic. High carbonation, dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with visible carbonation that does not form a head. Aroma has a good amount of sweet apple with a hint of earthy dryness backing. Flavor more of a sweet and slightly tart combination with a hint of dryness.
