Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of yellow apple, buttered biscuit, lemongrass, and cinnamon apple sauce with a satiny, crisp, spritzy, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish with elements of yellow apple, apple sauce with cinnamon, white flower potpourri, and toasted grains. A beautifully balanced tawny Cider with a fun, funky edge; truly a journey in the glass as the flavor evolves.

English-style ciders range in alcohol from 5-10% and feature austere and muted apple aromas and flavors. These ciders can be produced anywhere in the world, as long as English-origin apple varieties are used. English-style ciders are typically full-bodied and dry, and may also feature a slight “barnyard nose.”
