Cider Maker’s Description
Medium body, light astringency. Dry with a balance of fruit and tartness.
Good things come in small quantities. Our Brut Apple Reserve is a small batch bottling of late harvest apples from our orchard. We use only select cider cultivars to make this blend. It then goes through a secondary fermentation in the bottle to produce a lively, frothy effervescence.
Appearance:
- hazy/cloudy, golden orange color, very autumnal
Carbonation:
- very bubbly, lots of rising strings of tiny bubbles well after the pour
Aromas:
- earthy, ripe apple skins, grassy, woody notes, hints of citrus
Taste:
- ripe red apple, earthy, grassy, very dry, slightly bitter
Mouthfeel:
- balanced with hints of acidity and astringency
Finish:
- clean finish with some lingering dryness
Tasting Notes / General Impression
Occasionally I like to sit and just enjoy a cider. If I get the opportunity to try this again, there will be better notes next time.Reviewer Notes
