Harvest Moon is an elegant still aperitif/dessert style cider, where we combine the heritage and cider apples of Apple Lane Orchard on Denman Island with the most perfect apple brandy handcrafted by Island Spirits on Hornby Island.
Harvest Moon has an intense apple nose with a smooth velvet finish of spices and caramelized sugar.

Corked bottle, tasting at Matt’s, vintage 2013
The aroma is mild, but it has some elements of Ice Cider. Sweet mouthfeel, possibly a bit oily; some apple flavor, not much depth though, and just warming alcohol, without being burning.
Quite nice.

375ml bottle at Matt’s. Pours a clear gold. Aroma is sweet-sour fermented apples. Taste is sweet, slightly boozy, apples, caramel and some funky notes.

Draft - Nice dark Apple with a touch of peel notes. Clear gold. Nice Apple and a touch of booze. Fairly dry. Complexity is limited, but flavours are very nice.

375mL bottle, pours a clear bronze with no head. Nose is complex, with apple brandy dominating along with medium-high sweet apples. Flavour is very complex, with lovely apple brandy notes, medium apples and moderate sweetness. The alcohol is surprisingly hidden; there isn't really any burn at all. Complex and well-constructed. Excellent.
