It's our pleasure to release to you another barrel aged delight from last seasons bountiful harvest. Cyser is a co-ferment of locally grown and pressed apples as well as Orange Blossom honey. After fermentation we conditioned this at length in Two James Rye Whiskey barrels. During its long slumber it took on a ton of character from the rye, as well as beneficial micro oxidation from the minutely porous wood. Expect impressions of spicy caramel green apples, bright lemon zest and with an herbaceous zing. Like nearly all of our cider and cyser, this finishes nice and dry with a spritely carbonation profile

Brewery draught, 6/8/24. Clear, pale golden. Strong rye whiskey with soft honey and plentiful apple. Heavy rye barrel. Chewy, strident tannin. A bit too dominant, especially given the light body (too light). Clean, vegetal, gentle. Gets better on the finish but not super well-integrated overall.
