Description
Jaanihanso is a family owned cider house and orchard on a historic farm dating back to the 18th century. Our family bought Jaanihanso in 2000. Our knowledge of the farm’s history originates from the papers that we found from the house, and from older villagers stopping at our gate to reminisce about the “old days”.
The renovation story of the estate has been in sync with our own growing pains. Some years with larger construction works, some years not that much, but there has been constant mutual bettering. In 2013, when the last bits of the house had been refurbished, the car had to move out from its brand-new pigsty-turned-garage to make room for cider. Famously, a garage is the best place to start a venture.

Pours clear and very pale light yellowish with a fizzy head. Aroma of tart fruits, hints of earthy malts, hops, mild sourness and pear. Taste is dry, tartish and sweet with some pear, hints of earthiness and fruits. Finish dry, sweetish and juicy with hints of pear. A decent cider. Not much hops left here.
