Our organic winter seasonal stems from a long tradition of needing warmth in our cold northern solstice. Lightly spiced with cinnamon, vanilla and maple syrup to cradle in your hands and warm your hearts.
This estate cider has the aroma of fresh baked apple pie. Its deep character proves just as excellent when gently mulled.

A bomber given to me from a friend at work! Thank you Brian! Looks like good homemade cider, somewhat like a hazy hef. No signs of visible carbonation within. Some gunk on bottom of the bottle. Smell is sweet like apple juice. Lots of cinnamon on the initial taste. Not a fan of cinnamon in cider but at least at first its not overwhelming. Comes across somewhat artificial at times buit still not bad. Not sure if I like these other flavorings in my apple cider. Doesn’t seem to come across like 7%. Very little CO2 in this stuff. Apple is there but agtain there may be too much other stuff in here to make it sessionable. Fairly good and enjoyable, Certainly a holiday drink. This would be right at home on a cool fall day. Yep, does not really seem to be 7% at all, goes down way too easy. Finish is fruity fine with just a tad of medicinal feel to it. Not a bad spiced cider. Would not mind having again!

Bottle with sediment on the bottom. Pours a hazy golden body with a white ring. Some bubbles rising throughout. Aroma of apple juice, cinnamon, brown sugar, maple and a bit of raisins. Sweet, earthy and slightly minerally. Light alcohol tinge. Flavor is a whole lot better than the regular Scrumpy. Still sweet, but not cloying. More of an applesauce thing going on. Cinnamon, minerals, vanilla. Light bubbles and a decent thickness (high F.G.). Light tangy citrus-apple pie thing going on in the finish.
Still un-naturally sweet, but loads better than their first attempt. They actually make the sweetness work in this one.

500 mL bottle from Whole Foods Market, Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy pale orange color with no head. Aroma is sweet, syrupy apples with a bit of a tart note, much like apple juice. Taste is tart apples, cinnamon, maple and vanilla that shows up more as the cider warms. Very well spiced and very tasty. Medium bodied.
