Description
Inspired by the landscape, culture, and the abundance of fruit in the North West, AVID Cider Company, a family run business, is dedicated to creating hard cider using sustainably sourced and local ingredients. AVID Cider Co. was founded as a result of the dissatisfaction with the lack of variety and excessively dry or cloyingly sweet ciders available in the market place in 2013. We saw the opportunity to create hard cider that better balances the elements of a flavor profile, and satiates our thirst for a cider that is “just right.”

Admin Note: Formerly known as Atlas Cider Company, the owners were forced to change the name to AVID Cider Company in 2018.

Aromas are apple cider with some herbs. Flavors are similar to nose; mildly sweet tart. Good body and carbonation. Interesting.

Can from Tavour as Avid Dragon Fruit. Pours rose with a few transient bubbles. Aroma is mixed DF and raspberry. Arguably med body. Flavor is more DF than raspberry. Dry and lightly tart. Tends to seem a bit sweet with time tho.

On tap pours out red pink color topped with a small fizzy head. Nose is dragon fruit notes and some tart apples. Taste is more of the nice apple dragon fruit combo.

On tap at The Tap (Yakima), pours altar pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma has notes of pissy watermelon, light earthiness from the rhubarb and a touch of sweet apples. Flavour is quite sweet, with gentle watermelon notes upfront and a slightly tart finish. Not a great fruit expression. Seems a bit putrid, maybe a bit of butyric. Ugh.

Draft pour enjoyed at Hop and Hound. Clean and clear appearance. Really well balanced player of pear and apple, so a well executed product. Crisp front, smooth finish. Refreshing. Quite nice.

12oz can from Homebrewstuff. Pour looks like cranberry juice. Blackberry and currant vie for dominance in the aroma, pretty much evenly matched. Very fruity. Taste follows with berries and currants, tart apple providing a nice backdrop. Minor tartness, plenty of sweetness, and a smidge of dryness. Very very enjoyable.

Mild pineapple and mild mango notes. More apple than added flavors. Not bad.

19.2 oz can. Pours clear ruby red with no head--looks like cranberry juice. Aroma is apples and other vague red fruit (cherries, raspberries maybe), Kool-Aid. Taste is sweet and tart, alcoholic, tasting like the aroma let on. Finishes a little dry. Tastes pretty good.

Sample @ Portland Sunday Market. Pours a deep crimson red. Aroma is fruity assorted red berries, raspberries. Taste is much of the same, dragonfruit I assume, raspberry pips.. like much of Avid's output this is light, harmless, commercial fruit juice with no resemblance to cider at all.
