Right here’s Apple Pie’s official description, quick and candy, “A vacation particular, you should definitely convey some dwelling to share! The identify explains all of it. Yum.” 5.9% ABV.
Look: Sensible, mild straw, few bubbles
This seems to be like a very refreshing summer time sipper. The colour, readability, and bubbles are simply basic.
Aromas: Cinnamon, all spice, apple
This cider goes emphatically sturdy on its cinnamon aroma, however I additionally detect a good large of all-spice, and a background whisper of apple.
Dryness/sweetness: Off-dry
It is a shock to discover a cider with mulling spices this far on the dry aspect of issues. It’s not austere or bone dry, but it surely’s far nearer to dry than candy. What sweetness is there does really feel fully pure.
Flavors and ingesting expertise: numerous spices, medium bubble, bitter
My hopes have been greater than happy by this spicy off-dry deal with. The Apple Pie cider has a medium stage of sparkle and many spices. The Apple Pie cider is off-dry and tastes buttered and bitter. It reminded us of an apple hand pie.
