Cider Maker’s Description
Our seasonal ciders share the earthly essence of life in the fields and gardens of the Olympic Peninsula. We crafted this cider around the time of the Winter Solstice, inspired by the local saffron grown at Phocas Farms in Port Angeles. Saffron is considered one of the world’s most rare and costly spices and was first cultivated in Greece. The bright cider features fermented organic apples, delicately steeped toasted fennel and organic anise pods.Appearance:
- rich golden color, clear
Carbonation:
- moderate, frothy when swirled
Aromas:
- anise, red apple skins, floral, fennel, caramel, light oakiness, forest flowers
Taste:
- ripe red apple, fennel, herbal, notes of tropical fruit, hints of pine needles, slightly tart, dried fruit
Mouthfeel:
- light to moderate acid, hint of tannins
Finish:
- floral and herbal notes linger, nice finish of red apple and light astringency, not short not long
