Description
At Wandering Aengus Ciderworks we press and blend over 20 cider apple varietals to craft our ciders. Our cider specific apples originate from France, England, and pre-prohibition America, but are grown now in Oregon. These heirloom varieties are essential for the depth of flavor, excellent body, and delightnful aromatics of our distinctive ciders. All our ciders are always GLUTEN FREE.

On tap at Schilling Cider House - PDX, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Nose brings out farmhouse yeast, oak and crisp apples. Flavour is complex, with dry oak, apple yeast, and crisp apples. Crisp and champagne-like. Good stuff.

On tap at PIB 2017, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light Riesling, some gentle acidity and low-medium sweetness. Flavour is bone dry, with tons of white wine, light wood, and medium acidity. Zero sweetness on the finish. Pleasant and dry on the finish with decent puckering character. Decent.

On tap at PIB 2017, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light lacto, some watermelon and light apple acidity. Flavour is moderately sweet, with subdued watermelon character and some light crisp apple acidity. Not getting anything resembling a gose. Refreshing but cheap and too artificially sweet. Meh.
