Hazy yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of raw honey, lemon cream, dry straw, and potpourri with a satiny, tangy, spritzy, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish displaying nuances of lemon ginger candies, old oak barrel, dehydrated green apple skins, and mild bleu cheese. True and authentic, this naturally cloudy cider doesn’t hide it’s rustic heritage and keeps you guessing until the end.

About

Common Cider

Common ciders range in alcohol from 4-8% and typically feature dominant apple aromas and flavors. Most are not dry, but also not cloying, with a sweet, medium body and acidity. This style is what the majority of consumers associate with hard cider. The descriptor 'common' is in reference to the types of apples used to produce these ciders, rather than in reference to its quality of ready availability. Common ciders are produced from culinary table apples, typically including varietals such as Golden Delicious, Jonathan and Macintosh to name a few.
