Salt Spring Island quince with apples from the Money family on Saturna.

The same batch of quince we pressed and fermented for Ile Sauvage and Temporal. Turned into our own cider blend.

Bottle pour at Threefold. Pours clear gold with a white head. Nose is a bit of a blend of quince and apple juice. Flavour has tart quince, apple skins, some champagne yeast, and lingering, pungent sweaty quality that is not very pleasant. Overall it's a bit disappointing for Twin Island.

Slight haze. Light quince and apple notes. Fairly tart. Not bad, but a bit odd.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2025, pours a clear pale golden, no head. Nose has lots of musty barnyard funk, dry apple skins, and a touch of champagne-like effervescence — lots of sweaty armpits. Flavour is full of sweaty armpits, some bitter astringency, and weird musty apples. Seems like something went wrong here. Unusual for Twin Island.
