750ml from Appalachian. Stemless wine glass @home. Why is it so difficult to find a SC cider in NC? It's 1-2 grow/hardiness zones warmer just over the border. You can grow the same things in NYC as in Asheville, but it all gets a bit too warm 30 minutes south(or east). Cider pours out a clear, faint sizzle, somewhat unexpected, dark Lipton tea color. Macerated apples, lime-y, weak hops. Soft sweet, onion & grass scent. Very mild nose. Bittersweet, solid tartness, rind bitterness, tea, really quiet but fruity sweet onion hops. Thick, nearly flat, with just enough opposition to keep chugging. Very mild for a hopped cider. Old hops that sit in cider tend to get fruitier. Added sulfites didn't bother me. Okay.
