Description
Welcome to West Avenue Cider. Where authenticity and tradition meet big city lights. Our cider has been awarded Best Cider in Ontario for several years running, and we hope you’ll have the chance to find out why. As small-batch producers of hard cider we care about the quality of the fruit that goes into our cider—and we always will. We only use the best ingredients, coupled with a slow fermentation process, so every batch of our cider is characteristic of the orchard’s terroir. Because heritage apples are rare in Canada, we planted thousands of trees in our Orchard to ensure that our Heritage Ciders remain authentic forever.

Bottled. Nose is very pissy, with cherries and apples bit mostly urinal cake, and also some birthday candles. Not completely unpleasant but a bit shocking. Rich cherry flavor, apples, grapefruit. soft, almost flat. A bit funky. Interesting and enjoyable.

(cask) not sure if it got a bit spoilt by Sunday during cask days - but it was decidedly funky... hazy bright yellow colour with a small white head; aroma of funk, barnyard, then white grapes; balanced flavour, hint of funk

Tap at Bar Hop. Clear gold with a nice aroma of green apple and light cherries. The flavor delivers classic sweet cider complemented by tart cherries but where’s the dry-hopping component?
