About
Fermentor of ice ciders, aperitifs, and naturally sparkling ciders from locally grown heirloom and cider varieties.

Our mission is to support small local orchards who grow special apple varieties using environmentally sustainable practices. Together we grow a fascinating array of varieties to use in our ciders – old New England heirlooms like Blue Pearmain and Roxbury Russet, iconic sweets and sharps like Hudson’s Gem and Esopus Spitzenburg, zingy crabapples like Dolgo, Kerr and Wickson, and historic tannic varieties, including bittersweet and bittersharp varieties that originated in France and England. We press once per year after harvest, using the natural winter cold at our farm to concentrate the flavors and sugars of the apples before fermentation. We don’t use sugar, colorings, acids, or industrial flavorings, and all of our ciders are naturally gluten-free and vegan friendly. Welcome to cider from a wine point of view!

Sample thanks to Danlo. Cheers chap. Aged for 8 years in a French oak white wine barrel. Clear reddish mahogany appearance. Nose presents sherry, calvados, distant toffee apple, oak, apple concentrate. Taste is rich with sweet sherry, sweet apple concentrate, stewed dark fruits with a mild calvados warmth. Nice strength, not too full on. Lovely ice cider sipper with a great depth to its sweetness.

28/1/2022. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear dark amber bronze with minimal head. Aroma is sweet apple, woody, toffee, apple pie, dried fruits, vanilla, brown sugar, baked apples. Lovely sweet and tart mix. Medium to full body, oily texture, low carbonation. Delicious tangy lip-smacking tart finish. Super enjoyable.

Can @TreeRock. Goblet. Clear pale gold. Bittersweet, very perfume-y/floral, rose-y, inviting nose. Bittersharp apples, McIntosh skin, steel, lemon, wood, semi-sweet, but lots of tannins drying out the finish. Feels like it could be back-sweetened. Juicy, well carbonated, mellow alcohol. Good, but prefer their Deep Cut.

Can @TreeRock. Cloudy, yellow brew. Juicy, hay, savory, wild, citrus nose. Tart, lemon, grass, rose, bitter orange. Really good mix of cider & eating apples. Maybe back sweetened? Slightly yeasty, very carbonated, as is abv. Lots of flavor in an affordable can. Liked.

Damn complex and delicious high abv cider. Slight Applejack note, slight dry slight sweet deliciousness. Fermented apple nose that's addictive. Crisp finish. I wish I had saved this for a longer night but it won't last long anyways!

Pours a very interesting deep mahogany, almost ebony from a bottle, very still. Big fig and honey aroma, lots of oxidation, raisin, charred oak. Similar flavor, along with slightly cooked apples. Lots of sweetness, a slight tartness. Very good cider.

This is in cans now and not sure if exact same recipe but still hopped and same name so assume close enough. Light coloration. Nose is floral and apple. Tastes quite dry crab apple, Granny Smith skin, perfume, lime zest, white grapes.

Pours a clear golden straw from a bottle. Nice apple aroma. Tart and watery in the mouth though, kind of a let down. Okay cider.
