Gold Rush #5 is the 5th transatlantic cider making collaboration, this time between Tom Oliver (of Oliver’s Cider and Perry) and Ryan Burk of Angry Orchard, New York, USA.

A full tasting, sparkling 6.5% cider with some residual sweetness, balancing acidity and full-bodied tannins. Carefully selected vintage bittersweet and sharp cider apples from traditional Herefordshire orchards were slow fermented by wild yeasts in old oak barrels and tanks then, after a malolactic fermentation in the spring Tom and Ryan came together on 3 separate occasions in Herefordshire to blend this bright, rich cider with an ‘apple skins’ nose that gives way to a robust taste with a very satisfying finish. Chill and savour this unique cider with family and friends and celebrate the “family of cidermakers” on both sides of the Atlantic and around the world.

(thanks for sharing!) Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ The Beavertown Extravaganza 2017. Day 2. Clear golden. Nose is fruity ripe fruit, low funk, mellow fine UK funk. Taste is dry mellow, fruity, faint oak, fine mellow funk running through it, bit dry, delicate funk. Very neat, starting to appreciate stuff like this more.

On tap Beavertown Beer Extravaganza, Printworks, Canada Water Saturday 9th September 2017. Plenty of apple skins on the nose as the description suggests, but dry and with a little cheese on the nose, really dry throughout a wonderful refreshing lovely mouth cleanser following the big beers .
