An ode to the Green Mountain State, our home. With notes of alpine meadows, spring wildflowers, and fresh apples, The Vermonter celebrates the outdoor adventure. The official cider of the Rooted Vermont gravel cycling event and the unofficial cider of hikes in the Greens, dips in Lake Champlain, après backcountry ski tailgate sessions, and ridgeline trail runs.

Tasting Notes / General Impression

Occasionally I like to sit and just enjoy a cider. If I get the opportunity to try this again, there will be better notes next time.

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.
