Dry, fine bubbles, with a citrusy and floral aroma and a slight hop finish. Perfect for a beer drinker looking to try cider.
James H. Down (the same man that built the Great George Hotel) established in 1838 a roadhouse, inn, and brewery on what is now University Avenue. If you’ve seen the beautiful trees that surround the Agricultural Research Station you’ve seen where the Devonport Lodge once stood.
Upon the opening of the new house, Mr. Down announced, “Wherever accommodation will be given to travellers by keeping always a good stock of liquors, with good bedding and private rooms.”
This was not the first brewery on PEI, but it was the first to have a hopyard. Mr. Down reserved four acres for a hop garden.
The original building on University Avenue was demolished in the early 1970s, leaving only the trees as evidence of what was once there.

Tap @ the cidery. No head. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are apple juice, hops, fruits and has a nice light hoppy finish. Good one.

Bright apple with a little acidity. The hops comes through with resin, the barest hint of hot pepper, and green organics. First hopped cider for me. Not bad. From Notables PEI Liquor.
