Naturally fermented with authentic Sake yeast using a premium blend of fresh pressed apple juice, not from concentrate, with no added malt, spirit, or grape alcohol. A racy, high-speed cider that remains crisp and well balanced. Cloudy and straw colored with an exotic polished complexity. Cho-tokkyu is clean, vibrant with an authentic dry sake nish and a distinctive apple backbone. Cho-tokkyu Artisanal Reserve cloudy hard cider is unfitered and uses racked apple wine smoothed with pure organic, gluten free, rice syrup. No added colorants, sorbate or benzoate preservatives. Best served cool to cold. As with all our Artisanal Reserves, give a full bottoms-up tilt and swirl to disperse unfiltered apple-wine sediment evenly.

Bomber from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a very hazy lemon yellow with a nearly nonexistent head that fades quickly. Aroma of dry apples with an earthy note reminiscent of sake. The taste is apples, melons, citrus, vanilla. The sake yeast really comes through in a big way and I think it works well. Fairly dry overall with a bit of sweetness. Low carbonation. Tasty cider.
