Cider Maker’s Description
From Shelton Brothers:
"The Baldwin became one the most widely planted apples in the Northeast after its discovery in Woburn, Massachusetts, in the early 1800’s. These days, however, it is much harder to come by. The Baldwins in this cider come from trees planted in the early 1900’s. This cider is smooth and round, with a bright effervescence mid palate. It is West County’s most popular.
Since 1984, in the face of artificial sweeteners and industrial production, the Maloney family (Terry, Judith, and Field) have passionately crafted artisanal ciders that are dry, complex, and very satisfying. Today, they continue to create beautiful ciders with apples from their orchard of European, English, and traditional American varietals."

Tasting Notes / General Impression
Before I knew it, the glass was empty. I'll try to get notes next time.Reviewer Notes
This cider was poured for me and I never got to personally look at the bottle, or see it poured. I'll be seeking out another bottle of this to update the review, but I fear it's going to be difficult to find.Have you tried this cider? Let us know on social media what you thought of it and we may include your review here.
