Cider Maker’s Description
In the realm of rustic ciders, the pursuit of funky qualities requires a cunning hand if one is to avoid disaster. This farmhouse style cider is named for Graham who shed light on the possibility of alternative yeast selections. We fermented this hard cider with Saison yeast in French Oak puncheons. Including an extended rest with the yeast, we aged the cider unfiltered. It's dry and tannic, yet still retains a bright reminder of the orchards from whence it came.Appearance:
- clear, light golden color
Carbonation:
- quick fizz, very tiny bubbles
Aromas:
- oak, light funkiness, traditional English farmhouse cider
Taste:
- woody, oaky, slightly bitter
Mouthfeel:
- pleasantly acidic, noticeable but not dominant tannins
Finish:
- lingering oak flavored astringency
