Cider Maker’s Description
For over 80 years the Growers Trading and Supply Co. in Hotchkiss Colorado sold millions of lbs of Apples as Grizzly Brand Apples. Big B’s took over this location in 1973 and to pay homage to the Grizzly Brand we created a Hard Cider with historic roots and time honored traditions. Grizzly Brand Hard Cider is aged in used bourbon barrels, it’s unfiltered and bottle conditioned. It’s a crisp and dry cider that’s laced with woody vanilla like tones and finishes with the warmth of fine bourbon.Appearance:
- crystal clear, rich golden color, bright
Carbonation:
- very light, partial coverage of medium to large bubbles when poured disappearing immediately, swirl produces full coverage of small to medium bubbles that retreat to a full ring of tiny bubbles
Aromas:
- cinnamon, oak, bourbon, hint of funk
Taste:
- dry, bourbon, funky, oaky, hints of vanilla
Mouthfeel:
- mild astringency
Finish:
- lingering bourbon taste is nice
