Angry Orchard Cider Company
Hammondsport, New York, USA
10% abv
750ml Bottle
$13.99 from Westborn
Farmhouse Hard Cider
Interesting – I thought Angry Orchard was from Cincinnati,
Ohio; now it is from New York?; Oh, it is from the Boston Beer Company who make
Samuel Adams – now it all makes sense.
But, how did they get to New York?
I am not an insider so I don’t know.
The packaging (bottle) is just great on both the Ice Man and
Strawman. If you see it buy it.
Appearance: shiny crystal amber body with plenty of bubbles
rising from the bottom of the glass like sparkling wine
Aroma: wet wood; earthy; baked apples
Flavors: the oak wood aging comes through; bitter apple with
just a hint of sweet apple; nice touch of citrus on the back – reminds me of
lemon meat; the citrus note builds with each sip;
Mouthfeel: Sweet for a second; bitter right after; citrus
bite; very acidotic; can I say astringency without being redundant after saying
acidotic; sharp on the palate; lingering bitter apple and oak on the
aftertaste; very carbonated like a sparkling wine; has a medium to medium-full
body; I would say a medium-full body for a cider;
To the Point: be careful, easy to drink with a 10% abv; I
really like this hard cider; pair with a good cigar or sharp cheese; I smoked
two fine cigars with this bottle and it was great; I’ll buy this again; IPA
lovers should try this hard cider;
