About
At Son of Man, we work to perfect a singular craft. Inspired by the generations of cidermakers in Northern Spain, we have set out to make exceptional Basque-style cider. Son of Man cider is wild. It reflects the stunning landscape of the Columbia River Gorge and the bold spirit of the Pacific Northwest. Native yeasts, Oregon apples, and spontaneous ferment. Unfiltered and unfined. Our Basque-style cider is as natural as it gets and tastes like the time and place it comes from. Son of Man celebrates adventure: mountaineering, fly fishing, getting muddy, and grilling over a wood fire. Share a bottle, or three, with friends around the table. Show Less

Pale green-yellow. Tart and juicy apple. Off-dry, nice touch of sweetness. Good balance.

12 oz. can, pours a hazy blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out barnyard funk and dusty apple skins. Flavour is dry, with plenty of tart, dry apple skins, and a decent horse blanket character. Pretty impressively close to an authentic Spanish sidra. Maybe not as funky or deep, but nicely made.

On tap at Little Beast - SE Division, pours a cloudy muddled blonde, no head. Aroma brings out a nice funky character, tart apples, and some apple core. Flavour is full of apple core, a little funk, and puckering apple skins. Lots of apple core. Does not have the funk that I'd want from a Basque cider, nor the carbonation. Disappointing.

Overpriced bottle @Appalachian. Pint glass @home. Long pour with the silly cut out cork. Jellied pale gold. Lingering lace. Bitter, dried leaves, light glue, zero funk, pretty mild. Bitter-tart apples, old oak, slight vinegar, citrus rind, leafy veg, mint, washed out finish. Very minimal, if any funk. Frothy, thin, moderately acidic, easy abv. Fine. Just boring. Not worth the bottle price.

Hazy pale body. Apple aroma. Apple taste with a vinuous note. Fresh finish.

A Basque American friend asked about this. Clear body. Apple aroma. Apple taste with very tart finish. Light bodied.
