Single varietal cider. Arkansas Black is one of the most beloved apples of cider enthusiasts as it contains a little more tannin than most dessert apples and makes a very balanced cider. This batch is barrel-fermented and barrel-aged for three months in French oak that previously held red wine. Flavors of orange peel, nutmeg and vanilla with a soft and dry finish.
Carbonation: low
Apples: Arkansas Black from Santa Barbara County

Well-labeled 500ml brown bottle from Press Online. Mojito glass at home.
Mostly clear, softy dusty, pale gold. Quick-hitting soda fizz.
Floral, oily tropical, leaf mulch nose.
Taste is yeasty, onion-y, bittersharp & somewhat spent. Mellow lemon & lots of hay.
Thin body, sharp, acidic & warming earthiness. Too yeasty. Gentle & fading carbonation, a touch greasy.
