This cider is made from Lost Apples of the Champlain Valley. By Lost Apples, we mean apples that homesteaders planted for homemade hard cider over 100+ years ago. Colin and David, with the help of Michael Lee from Twig Farm and Brad Koehler from Windfall Orchard, forage through cow pastures, meadows, and forests of Vermont to harvest, then press and ferment these apples into a one-of-a-kind cider. If we love the cider from a particular tree, we graft it back into production.

750ml bottle pour at the April DC Ratebeer tasting. Poured a hazy yellow color, a fizzy head, for being an older beer that was also open for a while, it had decent carbonation. Aroma was apples, some light funky notes. Flavor was light crabapple, juicy apple, love the funk.

Light funk here. Tart finish. Golden pour with some soap bubbles. Light tart finish. Pretty decent, and holds up well for an eight year old cider.

Age explains the mild funk and sulfur hints on the nose, real nice mellow sweetness upfront and a tight dry finish.

Bottle from Astor Wines & Spirits. 2015 batch. Wine glass. Cloudy, yellow/orange body. Sticky, yeasty nose, hinting at cider vinegar. Taste is sweet upfront, turning tart. Very pear-ish, full apples. Acidic, yet very juicy. Less vinegar than anticipated. Dry, dusty finish. Pretty good.

Bottle. Pours with a clear yellow hued body with slightly more head retention than expected in a cider. Aromas are funky with strong phenolics, mild sulfur, strong fruit and floral notes. Flavors are lemony acidic, fruity, very light sulfur, funk, barnyard with firm tannins. Medium carbonation, lively acidity. Elegant.

Bottle pour at a tasting with one of the makers. Nose is nice apple and some peppery spice and wood. Tastes of apple and tart skins, peppery, some birch, minerals, green apple and tannic. Dry amd some fruit and zest on finish. I’m a sucker for the romanticism of foraged ciders.
