6.9% abv
$7.99 pint bottle
On the bottle: “Lightly spiced with ethically traded
cinnamon, vanilla and a wee drop of syrup from old Maple trees on our farm.”
Appearance: shiny golden body with burnt orange highlights
Aroma: apples with a hint of spice
Flavors and Mouthfeel: super sweet apple cider hits the
tongue first and then a big dose of spice, the bottle says ‘lightly spiced’ but
I have to call it moderate to moderate-full spiced; I recognize the cinnamon. The maple syrup and the vanilla mingle
together – I can’t pick them out. The
maple syrup is probably adding to the overall sweet taste. The carbonation had some life to it at first
and then it just disappeared. It has a
light fizzy feel.
To the Point: since this is a winter hard cider and this is
summer I’ll just say that I might try it again in the winter time. The spice style just didn’t seem refreshing
here in the heat of summer.
