Cider Maker’s Description

The Yakima Valley is known worldwide as a premier apple growing region and a prominent source of hops. We have chosen a select blend of traditional and exotic hops to marry with our cider. This blend of hops produces an aroma of fruit-forward nuttiness followed by a citrusy palate.

Appearance:

Nearly clear, light yellow color

Carbonation:

Not much carbonation on pour, just some large bubbles in the center

Aromas:

cistrusy hops, fresh cut grass

Taste:

hop forward, sour

Mouthfeel:

astringent / drying

Finish:

Long dry finish

Tasting Notes / General Impression

Before I knew it, the bottle was empty. I'll try to get notes next time.

Matthew Ostrander

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.
