A pale blonde cider with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet apple juice, light and refreshing. In mouth, a sweet smooth apple juice with light acidity, very nice. On tap at Skinny Pancake BTV.

Sampled @ Astor Wines. Least favorite of the three available. Why are honeycrisps never on sale? Galas everywhere at 99c a pound. This is the second or third cider I’ve had tonight made with honeycrisps. That’s the reason they’re $2.49lb everywhere. None of them were very good, aside from maybe being able to tick them like this. Syrupy, light maple color. Glossy. Smells of brown sugar, apple sauce, a touch of vanilla & some skin. Gooey honey & caramel sweetness. Just a smidgen of tartness & practically no acid to be found. Quite thick & fatty. Just sort of lays there though. Plop.
