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!

On tap at Spuytin. Wine glass pour. Clear, deep, yellow gold body. Smells of apples & brown sugar. old-school butterscotch candies. Minerally, semi-sweet, moderately tannic, carbonic, macerated apple flavor. Same apples as their ice cider is seems. Okay, if a bit messy.

750 ml bottle. A tad cloudy for a cider, a bit of sediment. Pretty high carbonation, acidic notes but nice apple character. Very dry texture. Not my favorite from this Cidery but not bad.

Let's just start by saying this needs a few more years of aging. without a doubt. Sat this upright in a fridge at 35F for 2 months, opened the top and it gushes everywhere. Lost half of the bottle. Clear, lots of alcohol legs, The carbonation is great. very champagne like. very funky. oyster and mushroom?
