Description
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!

500ml bottle at the January DC Ratebeer tasting. Poured a kind of dark, very clear apple juice color - that kind of dark yellow color? No head, totally still. Aroma was a blast of heat immediately, smooth apple notes. Apple skin. Smooth, heat as it's consumed. Really nice, smooth character. Really solid.
