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!

About half of a 187 ml. bottle @ home. Obtained in a trade with AdamChandler. 2014 Vintage. Quite dark dark orange amber apple juice appearance. Nose is sweet golden / red apples, very low alcohol feel to it and some applesauce. Some low clean alcohol, basic sweet but not heavily so by ice cider standards, easy sweet juicy apple, bit dry in the finish, slick, low agave, low cooked apple, mellow syrup, alcohol doesn’t distract but it feels boozier than it is, there is low herbal feel & dried apple and half dried apple note. Nice in general but far from the best in the style in my opinion.

Leftovers from 375ml bottle (thx, Alex C. that you were thinking about me :-)). Pours a clear golden with no hear. Aroma is tart apples with some alcohol notes. Taste is sweet and sour apples, woody, moderately dry with some apple stone notes. Tart, fermented apples aftertaste. Very good stuff.

Bottle - Crisp green and cooked Apple. Clear gold. Sharp apple skin, sweet and a hit of acidity with green apple. Some bitter and almost tannic peel. Not bad, but I like the QC stuff better.

Amber. Deep brown sugars, light tannins, nice bit of apple. On the palate, this has acidity, complex, with a touch of brown sugar. Tannins. Tart. Really nice, complex.
