Description
In 2012 the Schaefer family began planting heirloom and cider apples on the homesteaded family orchard. At this same time, we started to create small batches of cider. As the cider started to flow, so did our experience with and enthusiasm for these old cultivars. Currently, Pux Ciders benefit from close to 125 of our apple cultivars. These range from American dessert apples to French and English cider apples. We use these apples to create each unique batch of Pux crafted ciders. We also use other local Michigan products in our ciders, like tart cherries, pears and hops.

**Admin Note: Formerly known as Shaefer Cider Co. Still owned by the Schaefer family but sold under the Pux Cider brand.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 6

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clear silver, pale straw color with a quickly dissipating finger of bubbly white foam. Champagne yeast nose with mineral, pear and more yeast aromas. Dry on the palate with a lot of alcohol present, cheap white wine notes and tartness. Not enough balance and it's up just being sharp and dry. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pux Orchard Brut on 29 Dec 2019 at 23:32 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 6.
