Espionage is composed of Nothern Spy apples with some tannic bitter-sweets from our friends at Taproom Farms. A long, slow ferment was complemented with a 7 months in oak. Dry with a light carbonation, this cider has a gentle farmhouse nose with tannins encircling a medium-bodied, light caramel apple palate and a moderately-sharp finish.

Amber colour, and the aroma has a nice appley character, hinting at tannins. On the palate, the tannins are definitely there. Has a juicy character, good body and a bit of barny fermentation. Low level but it's there. It's solid.

375mL bottle, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma has notes of toffee apple, a hint of oak, and brown sugar. Flavour is dry, with plenty of oak, some light tannins, and a touch of dry caramel apple. Oaky, dry, and crisp. Not too complex, but it's pleasant.

375mL bottle. Pours clear gold with small white head. Apple skins and a gentle farmhouse character on the nose. Flavour has crisp apple, slightly tannic skins, gentle farmhouse notes, a bit woody. Decent and refreshing.
