Woodchuck Cidery
Middlebury, Vermont, USA
5% abv
Appearance: straw
Aroma: very interesting, I know this smell from somewhere;
lightly sweet … like light brown sugar and something else; I remember – Cracker
Barrel Restaurant – I have smelled this aroma in a Cracker Barrel Restaurant;
okay time to go to the bottle or the website. “…displays notes of maple syrup and brown
sugar…” and of course a whiff of
apples. I would have never guessed it
but, it sure makes since once I saw their description.
Flavors: and yes the maple syrup and brown sugar comes
through in the taste of this hard apple cider.
Hum, think of it … apples, maple syrup, and brown sugar … this could be
a very good breakfast drink!
Mouthfeel: lightly carbonated, crisp and sweet on the
delivery, dry on the finish and the flavors linger for a while on the palate.
To the Point: very interesting cider, on the sweet side for
me but, fun to drink one. I did not guess the maple syrup taste until I read that it was maple syrup and all I could say was 'that is maple syrup for sure.'
