Cider Maker’s Description
This medium dry blend of Jonathan and Rhode Island Greening comes from the Boals Farm in Antrim County Michigan. The Boals have been growing fruit on the same dirt for generations and we are fortunate to get a snapshot of that history in this bottle. The trees are decades old and were close to being replaced. Fortunately we found each other and can now keep them producing these excellent flavors. We halt the fermentation to leave a touch of natural residual sugar to balance the bright acid.
Appearance:
- clear, bright, yellow gold color
Carbonation:
- moderate carbonation, swirling produces 1/8" head of medium bubbles
Aromas:
- a very delicate nose with clean apple aromas
Taste:
- full flavored, great bittersweet apple flavor, tropical fruit
Mouthfeel:
- moderate acidity, very little in the way of noticeable tannins
Finish:
- left with a lingering apple flavor
Tasting Notes / General Impression
I didn't find much in the way of descriptors for this cider, but it is very good. For me, this would be a great every-day cider.
