My trustworthy co-taster Woody picked this up regionally. So many various cideries create their very own model of fall-spiced ciders, so I’m all the time curious to see how everybody’s tastes!
Right here’s the official description from the oldsters at 9 Pin: Crafted from apples from Samascott Orchards in Kinderhook, New York, Apple Pie-Secco symbolizes life’s easy joys, autumnal aromas filling our properties, explosions of style; pure consolation. 6.5% ABV.
Look: Sensible, brassy blonde, few seen bubbles
I really like how brassy blonde this coloration appears to be like within the glass. It is too fairly for a can, however I say that quite a bit. The cider poured sensible with few seen bubbles.
Aromas: candy and gentled cooked apple, cinnamon, ginger,
The Apple Pie-secco gives up a medium intense aroma of ginger, apple and cinnamon. The apple smells mellow and cooked. This positively will get the autumnal associations flowing. One be aware, with a view to actually entry these nice smells, it’s essential to use a glass.
Sweetness/Dryness: Semi-sweet
This cider is on the sweeter aspect, however it’s notably not absolutely candy. This actually provides a further stage of complexity to the cider’s different qualities like acids, physique, bubble, and 9 Pin’s use of cinnamon.
Flavors and ingesting expertise: excessive acid, sturdy cinnamon, vanilla end
9 Pin’s Apple Pie-secco begins off with a fantastic burst of excessive acid that I affiliate with New York and jap United States ciders extra usually. Subsequent, that acid coalesces into flavors I acknowledge as ripe peach and cooked apple. This cider’s midpalate expands to incorporate spices, principally cinnamon; it tastes holiday-ish and feels a bit of tough and sandpapery, The cider’s end is oodles of vanilla.
One of the fascinating traits of this cider was how the bubbles felt prickly and spiky and zesty.
I recognize that 9 Pin’s Apple Pie-secco doesn’t simply go for a similar profile because the traditional seasonal sipper. The vanilla is a pleasant contact, as is backing off on the sweetness only a contact. It was a fantastic accompaniment to my chocolate chip cookies, however I think about it might be even higher with shortbread and caramel.
