Cider Maker’s Description

Jonagold is a cross of two famous American apples; Jonathan and Golden Delicious. This cider is light, bright and refreshing. A musky, light flower aroma develops into a delicate flavor profile of creamy cotton candy. Light nuttiness, demur tartness, all with a soft, long finish. Apples grown at Ela Family Farms in Hotchkiss, CO.

Appearance:

  • crystal clear, bright, barely any hint of color, thought there was no color until I put it in the photo booth

Carbonation:

  • light to moderate, light fizz on the tongue

Aromas:

  • very aromatic, melon, floral, apple

Taste:

  • melon, delicate apple flavor, slightly herbal on the back half

Mouthfeel:

  • very balanced, just light acidity and tannins

Finish:

  • clean and quick finish

Tasting Notes / General Impression

Sometimes this "job" is taxing on the palate.
