The Mitten is a winter cider, a blend of last season's best, aged in bourbon barrels, with the new season’s fresh pressed apple juice. Straight cider, aged for three seasons, finds notes of vanilla, caramel and charred American oak, balanced with the best of the orchard, over-ripe apples and their sweet, tart, earthy juice. Many barrels are filled, but only a small portion, the very smoothest, will find their way into The Mitten.

Sampled on draft at Tapped this cider poured a bright yellow color with a trace white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was wood, apple juice and an earthy note. The flavor was flat, dry and tart with wood, earthiness and faint watered down apple juice. Long finish. Medium body. Meh.
