Cider Maker’s Description

Unplug and unwind with our seasonal blend of McIntosh and Goodland apples, featuring notes of honey and caramel and finishing with a hint of the signature McIntosh tartness. Twelve months of aging allowed these Montana Apples to express their full potential with subtle tannins and a surprising "English style" flavor and aroma.

Carbonation:

  • light carbonation

Aromas:

  • stone fruit, McIntosh apples, earthy

Taste:

  • red apple skins, leather, stone fruit, light tartness

Mouthfeel:

  • balanced, pleasant tannins, velvety feel, light to moderate acid

Finish:

  • lasting astringency / velvet and red apple flavor

Matthew favors dry hard ciders with body and leans towards traditional English styles, and he’s also developed a serious appreciation for hopped ciders and creative flavor infused ciders. Though he prefers sweets in solid forms, he does enjoy semi-sweet to sweet ciders responsibly when the mood strikes. Learn more about our Chief Cider Curator here.
