Belgian Trappist Yeasts and organic maple syrup
6.9% abv
22oz bottle
$5.99 from Lager Mill in Frankenmuth
I have to admit that the maple syrup has me worried. The last cider that had maple syrup in it was
too sweet for me. Let’s see how it goes.
Oh, one more point. I
have a real problem with this brand.
When you read the label it says, “…apple juice blend, not from
concentrate…” and then you go and read
the ingredients and what does it say, (forth ingredient in) “apple juice
concentrate…” The owner of this company
must be a congressman or women or someone that is running for President.
Make sure to swirl the bottle to stir up the yeast.
Appearance: hazy white grape fruit juice – or we could call
it – hazy straw. If it pours clear you did not get the yeast stirred up off the
bottom of the bottle.
Aroma: apple juice for sure, pear, maybe a little yeast,
very light bouquet
Flavors and Mouthfeel: sweet and a little tart is what my
wife has to say; I’ll call it a sweet on the deliver and acidic on the mid and
finish; watery pineapple juice like; pear and apple; I cannot pick out the
maple syrup; the cider does have a very sweet note and is balanced some by the
acidic structure.
I think the herbal – floral note shows up a little bit when
the cider warms up
To the Point: both my wife and I like this cider. It is sweet but, not overly sweet were I have
to water the grass with it.
