Alpenfire Calypso

Review of Alpenfire Calypso. I’ve had this previously, but never done a full review. I’ve also had Alpenfire’s Dungeness, Spark, Ember, Simple Cider, Calypso, Pirate’s Plank, Glow, Cinders, Shrub, Spiced Tonic Shrub, Traditional Heirloom Cider, Flame, Tempest, Foxwhelp SV, Rosy Pommeau, 3 Pommes, Kingston Black, Golden Fox, Smoke, and Traditional Cuvée.

Cider: Calypso
Cidery: Alpenfire
Cidery Location: Port Townsend WA
ABV: 6.9%
How Supplied: 500ml bottles
Style: American craft cider from Newton Pippin apples and blackberries, rum barrel aged

Availability: likely only in the Northwest, plus online sales

Cider Description: An expression of the Northwest. Organic heirloom apples co-fermented with blackberries, then aged in rum barrels.

Cidery Description: We invite you to experience the distinctive flavors of our estate grown heritage ciders. Shaped by our maritime climate’s mild summers and tempered by the foggy mist rolling off of Discovery Bay, our apples maintain the qualities they’ve been treasured for by generations of cider lovers. Soft tannins, high sugars, hints of bitterness, and an incredible flavor range are the tools the apples bring us. Slow, cool fermentation, lengthy maturation, and attention to detail is the way we say thank you! Try Alpenfire Cider today and find your favorite expression of the Northwest.

Price: $11.99
Where Bought: their website – I made a large order when they had a free shipping deal during COVID-19 quarantine
Where Drank: home
How Found: this was one of the first varieties I tried from Alpenfire

First Impression: Vibrant dark red hue. Low carbonation. Smells of mild tart berry.

Tasting Notes: Semi-dry. Light bodied. Moderate to high tartness and acidity. Hints of bitterness and tannins. No sourness or funk. Notes of tart apple reminiscent of granny smith, complex berry, and a hint of oak. Moderate length tart finish. Moderate sessionability, flavor intensity, and apple flavor. Low to moderate overall complexity.

My Opinion: I liked it. Easy to drink, but still with some complexity. However, I’d prefer a bit more sweetness and/or less tartness.

Most Similar to: 2 Towns Boysenbarrel, except without the red wine flavor profile

Closing Notes: Alpenfire consistently makes excellent ciders, and has a huge range of selections too, so there is something for everyone.

Review of Ace’s Guava cider. It is my first time trying this, but I have had their Pineapple, Blackjack 21, Pumpkin, Apple-Honey, Apple, Berry, Joker, and Space.

Cider: Guava
Cidery: Ace
Cidery Location: Sebastopol CA
ABV: 5.0%
How Supplied: six pack of 12oz cans
Style: American large-craft cider from dessert apples, with Brazilian guava

Availability: wide release; check their cider finder

Cider Description: Fresh Pink Guava juice blended with our semi-dry apple cider. Fruit forward with semi-dry undertones. Enjoy this taste of Brazil!

Cidery Description: California Cider Company is the first family-owned cidery in the US. We have been making ACE Cider since 1993 in the beautiful Sebastopol area of Sonoma County, just north of San Francisco.

Price: ~ $9.99 / six pack
Where Bought: Total Wine
Where Drank: home
How Found: Facebook

First Impression: Hazy orange with a hint of pink hue. Very low carbonation. Smells of tart tropical fruit, although not specifically guava.

Tasting Notes: Semi-dry. Light bodied. Moderate tartness and acidity. No sourness, bitterness, funk, or tannins. Notes of guava juice, tart green apple, and a hint of lemon. Moderate length tart finish. High sessionability. Low apple flavor. Low to moderate complexity. Moderate flavor intensity.

My Opinion: I liked it, due to the great guava flavor, which is a favorite of mine. However, I would have loved it, if only there was a touch more sweetness. With 9g sugar per can and its tartness, this barely tasted semi-dry to me.

Most Similar to: I’ve had four ciders with guava – Common Cider Pineapple Guava, One Tree Passionfruit Guava, Schilling Guava Mint, and Seattle Cider Strawberry Guava – but all had an additional flavor. Ace Guava wasn’t similar to any of those, as the Common Cider and Seattle Cider selections were of a similar sweetness but mild in flavor and not guava-forward, while the One Tree and Schilling selections were much sweeter and super full-flavored.

Closing Notes: This is a super sessionable summery cider, with the low ABV, lack of sweetness, and guava flavor profile.

Review of Tieton’s Hazy Strawberry. It is my first time trying this, but I have had most of their line-up (see here).

Cider: Hazy Strawberry
Cidery: Tieton Cider Works
Cidery Location: Yakima WA
ABV: 6.9%
How Supplied: six pack of 12oz cans (and kegs)
Style: American craft cider from dessert apples with strawberries

Availability: seasonally, around May thru August, at least in AZ, CA, CO, FL, ID, IL, NJ, NM, NV, OR, TX, and WA; check their cider finder

Cider Description: As Washington farmers we like to support local growers and Northwest strawberries are some of the very best! This blend of hand-picked juicy strawberries and fresh-pressed cider pours as a ruby blush. It is unfiltered for added body and accentuated flavors. Enjoy this fruity summer beverage with smoky bar-b-que and fresh cheeses.

Cidery Description: From our orchards to your glass, TCW controls every aspect of the growing and cidermaking process. TCW boasts the largest orchard of cider apple varieties in Washington state and the largest Perry pear orchard in the United States. We blend our cider fruit with all Washington apples. We’ve been growing apples, apricots, cherries and pears on Harmony Orchards – our family farm – since the 1930’s and are thrilled to be involved in Re:interpreting the tradition of cider making.

Price: ~ $2 / single can (runs ~ $11.99 / six pack)
Where Bought: Trader Joes (note that they will sell a single can/bottle of any multi-pack, and don’t mark it up beyond the unit price like most other stores)
Where Drank: home
How Found: browsing the store, although I saw it first in the Hard Cider Appreciation Society Facebook group

First Impression: Deep red-pink hue. Very low carbonation. Smells of mild sweet berry.

Tasting Notes: On the sweeter side of semi-dry. Light to medium bodied. Moderate tartness and acidity. No sourness, bitterness, funk, or tannins. Notes of strawberry and granny smith apple. Quick tart finish. Low apple flavor and complexity. Moderate flavor intensity. High sessionability.

My Opinion: I liked it. Interestingly it tasted much drier than the stated sugar content (19g / can), I’m guessing because of the tartness. Nice real strawberry flavor.

Most Similar to: My list says I’ve only tried four strawberry ciders (from Bull Run, Cider Brothers – William Tell, Longdrop, and Seattle Cider), and the later 2 had additional flavors. Tieton Hazy Strawberry is most like Bull Run Strawberry Fields, with a similar level of sweetness and flavor profile.

Closing Notes: I like being able to pick up single cans/bottles of multipacks, so I don’t get stuck with selections I don’t like, although in this case I wouldn’t have minded having 5 more cans.

Review of Alpenfire Traditional Cuvée. It is my first time trying this variety, but I have had most of their lineup (see here).

Cider: Traditional Cuvée
Cidery: Alpenfire
Cidery Location: Port Townsend WA
ABV: 6.9%
How Supplied: 500ml bottles
Style: American orchard-based cider from heirloom & cider apple varieties, dry

Availability: probably only through their website and in a limited number of specialty shops in WA

Cider Description: This cider cuvée has a classic balance of traditional & heirloom apples. The cider apples are organically grown in our orchard while the heirloom apples come from two other organic growers, Lazy J Farm in Port Angeles and Heirloom Orchards in Hood River. Cider apples provide depth of flavor and a tannic sizzle while heirloom apples provide acidity and bright flavors. Cool fermentation, lengthy maturation and no filtration create complexity and rich body. Try this well rounded orchard based cider with breads & cheese, burgers, or just about everything.

Price: $11.99
Where Bought: Alpenfire’s online shop
Where Drank: home
How Found: browsing their website when I made a large order when they were offering free shipping

First Impression: Medium gold hue. Smells of dry, tart, tannic, heirloom apple with a hint of funk.

Tasting Notes: On the sweeter side of dry. Light bodied. Moderate tartness and acidity. Low tannins. Hints of bitterness and funk. No sourness. Notes of heirloom apple juice & pomace, wood, lemon, and floral. Moderate length tannic finish. Moderate apple flavor, sessionability, and overall flavor intensity. Moderate to high complexity.

My Opinion: I liked it. It didn’t seem quite as tart/sharp as many other dry ciders, which I enjoyed, as I usually tend towards sweeter ciders, and tartness makes dry ciders taste even drier for me.

Most Similar to: Eden Heritage Cider, Dragon’s Head Heritage, and also reminiscent of Snowdrift but not any 1 specific release

Closing Notes: Alpenfire’s lineup is really wide-ranging in type, so there is something for everyone

Alpenfire Smoke

May 4, 2020May 1, 2020 cidersays Alpenfire, review Alpenfire, Alpenfire Cider, cider, cider review, cider tasting, hard cider, port townsend, smoke, tasting notes

Review of Alpenfire’s Smoke Pommeau (cider + apple brandy), their barrel aged dessert cider. I’ve had a previous version of this (see here), plus I’ve tried most of their lineup (see here). I missed out on the only release that I knew of in between the previous one I tried years ago and this one, so I was excited to buy some.

Cider: Smoke, 2017 Harvest
Cidery: Alpenfire
Cidery Location: Port Townsend WA
ABV: 18%
How Supplied: 375ml bottles
Style: American craft apple brandy-fortified barrel-aged cider from Estate-grown bittersweet cider apple varieties

Availability: very limited, likely mostly online, plus some specialty shops in WA

Cider Description: A barrel aged desert cider blended for those who love a rich full bodied cider and a touch of peaty smoke in their whiskey. This after dinner tipple sits as the 2nd best cider in the world on RateBeer’s best of list….Harvested in 2017 and fermented dry, referemented and aged in a rye whiskey barrel, then matured in a peated whiskey barrel, then blended with cider aged over oak chips before estate Bittersweet apple brandy is added in to bring it up to 18%.

Price: $24.99
Where Bought: their online shop
Where Drank: home
How Found: originally, browsing a shop

First Impression: Light gold hue. Still (no carbonation). Smells of rich bittersweet apple, brandy / high ABV, aged spirits (esp. scotch), and oak barrel.

Tasting Notes: Semi-dry. Medium body. Moderate tartness and acidity. Low bitterness and tannins. No sourness or funk. Notes of bittersweet cider apples, oak, smoke, scotch/whiskey, and a hint of peat. Long warm finish. Moderate to high complexity and flavor intensity. Low to moderate apple flavor. Very low sessionability.

My Opinion: I enjoyed it. However, I have to say that it didn’t live up to the previous version I tried, which was truly epic and one of the best things I’ve ever drank. I imagine the years I waited to buy more of this served to further elevate my opinion on the previous version. Never the less, as a stand-alone product, this Pommeau is superb, and I’ll happily drink the 3 bottles I bought.

Most Similar to: a slightly lighter (less rich) and less sweet version of their previous Smoke, or a typical Pommeau with added barrel/smoke flavor

Closing Notes: Alpenfire is a favorite of mine, and a highlight is their vast lineup, with offerings from dry to semi-sweet, fruity to rich, sessionable to not, and everything in between, all of which are exceptional.

>>This is a review of a sample can provided to Cider Says by Portland Cider. Although I will take care to treat it the same as any other review, there is always the potential for bias as I received it for free. The only consideration I knowingly made was pushing this up in my cider review cue. I love free stuff, especially cider! Want your cider or cider-related product reviewed here? Contact me.<<

Cider: CiderAde
Cidery: Portland Cider
Cidery Location: Portland Oregon
ABV: 4.0%
How Supplied: 19.2oz “proper pint” single cans (and kegs)
Style: American craft cider from dessert apples, with lemon, lime, and salt (as electrolytes)

Availability: small batch special release, starting April 2020, in Oregon (including to-go at Portland Cider’s 2 taprooms), Washington, Northern Idaho, and Northern California

Cider Description: The cider that aids you! Freshly squeezed lemons and limes brighten this cider made with 100% Northwest apples. A cider that’s refreshing & replenishes with electrolytes sourced from sea salt harvested in Netarts Bay along the Oregon coast by Jacobsen Salt Company. Rejuvenation & relaxation in a glass!

Cidery Description: We started the Portland Cider Company in 2013 with the intent of marrying English cider traditions with the innovative Northwest micro-brewing culture. Lynda hails from Somerset county of England, the traditional cider making region, and Jeff is a native Oregonian. It all started from a desire to make the clean, dry cider Lynda grew to love in England, and Jeff yearned to find here. The first batches began in our guest room closet, 5 gallons at a time, made to quench our own thirst. We then introduced it to our friends and family, most never having drank cider before, and discovered we were on to something when our popularity soared and those small batches went fast! That cider is what became our signature and bestselling “Kinda Dry.” Now 6 years on, we continue to devote the same passion for 5000 gallon batches as we did for those first 5 gallon ones. Only now we don’t worry about running out of what we love! We hope you won’t run out of it either!

First Impression: Light straw yellow hue. Low carbonation. Smells mild, dry, and of citrus.

Tasting Notes: Dry. Light bodied. Moderate tartness and acidity. No bitterness, sourness, funk, or tannins. Notes of green apple, lemon, salt, and lime. Moderate length tart finish. Low apple flavor, sessionability, and complexity. Very high sessionability.

My Opinion: I wasn’t super into this, as I tend towards slightly sweeter ciders, but my husband who is a bigger fan of dry tart ciders liked it.

Most Similar to: Ulee’s Light Cider with some salt and lime

Closing Notes: I’m not one to mix outdoor activities in hot weather with alcohol, so I don’t really get the appeal of this, but I can imagine others having the opposite opinion. Good thing there is a wide range of ciders so there is something for everyone.

Review of Double Mountain Brewery’s Wickson Crab cider. It is my second time trying this (see here for the first). I’ve also had their Jumpin Jack Heirloom Cider, Dry, and Arkansas Black.

Cider: Wickson Crab
Maker: Double Mountain
Location: Hood River Oregon
ABV: 8.2%
How Supplied: 500ml bottles
Style: American craft cider from Wickson crabapples

Availability: likely only in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia

Cider Description: This late season variety is tiny on the tree, but big on flavor. Sweet, tart, and earthy, this scrappy little apple makes for a robust cider. Honeydew, ripe kiwi, and big juicy apple fill the mouth, finishing less tart and a hint of sweetness. There is nothing small about this variety of crabapple. Wickson is bringing the sweet to balance it’s tart kick.

Cidery Description: Double Mountain Brewery and Taproom was established in 2007 in the heart of downtown Hood River, OR. Founder, Matt Swihart, opened the brewery with a clear mission: make great beer for craft beer fans.

My Opinion: I wasn’t into this cider, but my husband was a big fan, as its his favorite style (dry, tart, and higher ABV). This was drier, more tart, and higher ABV than their previous version.

Most Similar to: Dragon’s Head Columbia Crab and Greenwood Red River Wolf Crab

Closing Notes: Its unique to see a brewery make cider, especially heritage (vs. modern) cider.

Notes of raspberry, green apple, and lemon (no noticeable pear). Moderate length tart finish. High sessionability. Low complexity and apple flavor. Moderate flavor intensity and raspberry flavor.

My Opinion: I liked it. Not what I’d usually pick, but tasty, on the lighter side, and super sessionable, with the low ABV, mid-level sweetness, and simpler flavor profile.

Most Similar to: nothing I’ve tried, as the raspberry ciders I’ve had were:
– much sweeter (from Washington Gold, Woodchuck, Wyder’s, Eaglemount, One Tree, Schilling, & Doc’s Draft)
– much drier & high ABV (Blue Moon Winery), or
– had other ingredients (Apple Outlaw Chocolate Raspberry, Bauman’s Peach Raspberry, Pear Up Rasperry, & Cockrell Raspberry Habanero)

Closing Notes: Last summer’s seasonal from Portland Cider was Pineapple Rosé, which they made a year-round release, so this is the replacement.

It is my first time trying this, but I have had their Sparkling Dry, Cinderella’s Slipper, Heirloom Blend Ice Cider, Sparkling Semi-Dry, Northern Spy Ice Cider, Honeycrisp Ice Cider, Imperial 11 Rosé, Heirloom Blend Barrel Aged, Guinevere’s Pearls, Windfall Orchard Ice Cider, Two Ellies, The Falstaff, Heritage, Siren Song, Ezekiel Kingston Black, Harvest, and Extra Sec.

Cider: Claudine (Cellar Series)
Cidery: Eden Specialty Ciders
Cidery Location: Newport VT
ABV: 4.0%
How Supplied: 375ml bottles
Style: American craft French-style keeved cicder

Availability: online only, limited release

Cider Description: Normandy-style keeved cider, made from 3 bittersweet apple varieties. This is a special version of a petillant naturel that retains residual sweetness, balanced by tannin rather than acidity. Its delicious, rich flavor is a fantastic accompaniment to traditional Normandy foods. Enjoy with a plate of cider-braised mussels, a bowl of pork stew, or a slather of Camembert cheese.

Cidery Description: Our specialty ciders reflect the cold winter climate and apple heritage of Northern New England. We make ciders that are unique and innovative, but that also respect the rare and expensive apples we use, and refrain from aggressive manipulation and industrial beer and wine processing techniques.

Price: $36 / 3 bottles (currently no single bottle option) + shipping
Where Bought: their website
Where Drank: home
How Found: e-mail from the cidery

First Impression: Medium orange amber hue. Moderate carbonation. Smells sweet, of rich apple and yeast.

Tasting Notes: On the drier side of semi-sweet. Medium bodied. Low tartness and acidity. No funk or sourness. Notes of rich complex apple pomace & juice and orange. Quick finish with a hint of bitterness and tannins. High apple flavor, sessionability, and overall flavor intensity. Low complexity.

My Opinion: I really liked it. On the simpler side, but most French and French-style ciders are, and its far from boring. Sweeter than most other offerings from Eden, which I like, as my favorite non-ice cider from them is probably their semi-sweet Guinevere’s Pearls. I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between this and a French cider. I think it would be perfect for a weekend brunch.

Most Similar to: a number of cleaner French ciders (no funk or sourness); see here for some of my past French cider reviews

Closing Notes: Interesting they are only selling this in half-size 375ml bottles, especially with the low ABV. From the price and style I’m guessing this cider cost them a lot to make, and the smaller bottle size kept the price much lower (vs. $24 / 750ml bottle assuming double the price of one 375ml bottle).

Fermented to 13% ABV then fermentation was arrested via fortification with apple brandy to 18% ABV. Then barrel aged to soften the edges and allow the brandy to settle in.

Tasting notes #36 from the Schilling Cider House in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle WA. Check out my past posts from the cider house here.

I was here on a Monday afternoon with my husband and a friend from out of town. We skipped work to hang out with our friend at Pike Place and the cider bar. I ordered most of the ciders they had that I hadn’t previously tried. It appears that most if not all of these are draft-only.

Schilling (Auburn WA) Imperial Brut (8.5% ABV): On the sweeter side of dry, tart, with rich bittersweet cider apple flavor

Independent Cider (Dryden WA) Barreled Blackberry Perry (5.9% ABV): On the sweeter side of semi-dry, with berry, and a hint of oak (barrel), but no detectable pear

Channel Marker Cider (Seattle WA) Quince (7.8% ABV): Dry to semi-dry, tart, with mild general fruitiness

Finnriver (Port Townsend WA) Bourbon Barrel Aged Heritage (9.5% ABV): Semi-dry, with heirloom apple flavor with some tannins and bitterness

Cider Riot (Portland OR) New Wave (5.1% ABV): Dry to semi-dry with sharp heirloom apple flavor

I liked the Blackberry Perry, but wasn’t too into the others, mostly as they were on the drier / tart / sharp / bitter side. I probably should have just ordered something I knew I would like, but I like to try new ciders, especially at the lower price of a taster. I was more excited about the bottle shopping I did – I picked up a bunch of Dunkertons (an English cider which is a favorite of mine that hasn’t been available for quite awhile) and Alpenfire (a local favorite), plus a few others.

Stay tuned for more Schilling Cider House tasting notes here at Cider Says. Have you had any good draft cider / cider flights recently?

Cider Description: Champagne-method cider made from heirloom and bittersweet apple varieties grown in Vermont and at Poverty Lane Orchards in New Hampshire. It is naturally sparkling and clean – we hand-disgorge the yeast from every bottle! Beautifully balanced between fruit, acid, and tannin. The barely perceptible dosage serves to bring forth the fruit character of the cider. Perfect with roast pork, turkey and vegetable gratin dishes.

Price: ~ $15
Where Bought: their website
Where Drank: home
How Found: browsing

First Impression: Light gold hue. Low to moderate carbonation. Smells mild, of dry acidic heirloom apple cider.

Tasting Notes: On the sweeter side of dry. Light bodied. Moderate to high tartness and acidity. Low bitterness and tannins. No sourness or funk. Notes of complex tart heirloom apples, lemon, wood/earth, and pineapple. Long tart finish.

My Opinion: I enjoyed it, especially as it isn’t fully dry, and has some complexity, but this isn’t my favorite style of cider. My husband was predictably even a big fan, as its a favorite style of his. I recommend this to fans of complex dry tart sparkling ciders; its very well made and an excellent value.

Most Similar to: Eden Harvest cider, but sparkling, a touch drier, and more complex

Closing Notes: Awhile back Eden replaced their flagship ‘Dry’ and ‘Semi-Dry’ ciders with ‘Brut Nature’ and ‘Extra Sec’, all of which are sparkling, with the former at 0% residual sugar and the later (reviewed here) at 0.9% residual sugar. I think I preferred the ‘Semi-Dry’ a bit over Extra Sec, as it was a touch sweeter and richer, but anything from Eden is a good choice.

Availability: special release, at least in AZ, CA, CO, FL, ID, IL, NJ, NM, NV, OR, TX, and WA; check their cider finder

Cider Description: This is our second cider in our single varietal series. We use Harrison apples it in our ciders often because its great for blending with other apples, but since it makes such good cider on it’s own, we chose too make a single variety cider. It is golden colored, with spiced apple, honey notes and a deeply rich mouthfeel finished by a lingering hint of ginger.

Price: $7.99

Where Bought: Total Wine
Where Drank: home
How Found: initially at a tasting event

First Impression: Light gold hue. Low carbonation. Smells mild and slightly rich.

Tasting Notes: On the sweeter side of semi-dry. Light to medium bodied. Moderate tartness and acidity. Hints of bitterness and tannins. No sourness or funk. Notes of heirloom & green apples, honey, pear, lemon, and an overall flavor which I would best describe as creamy. Moderate length tart finish. Moderate apple flavor, sessionability, overall flavor intensity, and complexity.

My Opinion: I enjoyed it. Very approachable for an heirloom apple cider, as many tend towards super dry and tart. Its at a nice price point too.

Most Similar to: Snowdrift Forefathers and Locust Honey Pear

Closing Notes: I always like finding ciders from heirloom and/or cider apples which are a bit sweeter, as I’m not usually into fully dry ciders, but like their flavor and complexity.

2 Towns Branch & Barrel

December 26, 2019December 25, 2019 cidersays 2 Towns, review 2 Towns, Branch & Barrel, cider, cider review, cider tasting, hard cider, heirloom cider, imperial cider, tasting notes

Review of 2 Towns Branch & Barrel, an Imperial-style cider made from heirloom apples, then barrel aged. It is my first time trying this, but I’ve had most of their line-up (see here).

Cider: Branch & Barrel
Cidery: 2 Towns Ciderhouse
Cidery Location: Corvallis OR
ABV: 8.2%
How Supplied: 500ml bottles (and kegs)
Style: American craft Imperial-style cider from heirloom apples, barrel aged

Availability: seasonal, in fall, in select states where 2 Towns is typically sold (Oregon, Washington, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Chicago, and parts of Minnesota & Montana)

Cider Description: Pomona, goddess of orchards, blessed our crop this year with a bounty of eclectic heirloom apples which, when fermented & aged in French oak foeders, yield a deliciously aromatic cider fit for the gods!

Cidery Description: At 2 Towns Ciderhouse we believe that the long history of cidermaking demands respect and deserves to be done right. Starting with the highest quality whole ingredients from local farms, we take no shortcuts in crafting our ciders. We never add any sugar, concentrates or artificial flavors, and instead use slow, cold fermentation methods to allow the fruit to speak for itself. As a family-owned company, we are committed to the growth of our team and enrichment of our communities. We take pride in producing true Northwest craft cider.

Price: $6.99
Where Bought: Total Wine
Where Drank: home
How Found: browsing; I was surprised to see this on shelves vs. usually receiving samples of their new releases in the mail (they did however send me an awesome holiday gift – a bottle of their Pommeau!)

First Impression: Medium straw yellow hue. Low carbonation. Smells mild, dry, of complex heirloom apples.

Tasting Notes: Semi-dry to semi-sweet. Light bodied. Moderate tartness and acidity. Hints of bitterness and tannins. Notes of heirloom apple, stone fruit, and honey. Moderate length tart finish. Moderate apple flavor, sessionability, flavor intensity, and complexity.

My Opinion: I liked it, especially because they went a bit sweeter with this one than their others and its flavor profile. It tasted sweeter than it smelled. My husband was also a fan, especially due to it being Imperial-style (higher ABV), which is his favorite.

Most Similar to: Tieton SV Harrison and Snowdrift Forefathers

Closing Notes: 2 Towns is always a good choice, as they make so many different varieties of ciders, and they are all pretty middle of the road, to appeal to the masses.

Angry Orchard Unfiltered Crisp Apple

December 16, 2019December 14, 2019 cidersays Angry Orchard, review Angry Orchard, cider, cider review, cider tasting, Crisp Apple, hard cider, tasting notes, unfiltered

Review of Angry Orchard’s newest regular release, an unfiltered less sweet version of their Crisp Apple. It is my first time trying this, but I’ve had a number of their other selections (see here).

Cider: Unfiltered Crisp Apple
Cidery: Angry Orchard
Cidery Location: Walden NY (their R&D facility)
Cider Production Locations: Cincinnati OH & Breingsville PA
ABV: 6%
How Supplied: six pack of 12oz bottles
Style: American commercial cider from dessert & bittersweet apple varieties, unfiltered, less sweet

Availability: wide release

Cider Description: Crisp Apple Unfiltered is an homage to traditional cider with a natural, less sweet, fresh apple taste. It is made with bittersweet apples, the gold standard in cider making.

Ingredients: hard cider, water, cane sugar, apple juice from concentrate, malic acid, honey, natural flavor, carbon dioxide, and sulfites to preserve freshness

Price: ~ $2 / single bottle (runs ~ $8.99 / six pack)
Where Bought: Total Wine
Where Drank: home
How Found: browsing

First Impression: Hazy light amber hue. Smells of sweet baked apple. Very low carbonation.

Tasting Notes: On the sweeter side of semi-dry. Light bodied. Moderate tartness and acidity. Hints of tannins and bitterness. Notes of unfiltered apple juice, orange, honey, and chemicals. Moderate length tart finish. Moderate apple flavor and flavor intensity. High sessionability. Low complexity.

My Opinion: The weird chemical flavor ruined it for me, and my husband agreed – we ended up dumping it out. Maybe it had gone bad, but it didn’t taste like ciders I have had before which were truly flawed (the most common I’ve found is those which have turned vinegary).

Most Similar to: Angry Orchard Easy Apple, Crispin The Saint, and some favorites of mine, Downeast Original Blend and 2 Towns Return of the Mac, except with a chemical twist…ick

Closing Notes: I was hoping this would be a full-ABV version of their Easy Apple (their less sweet, less filtered, low ABV cider), but that one is much better.

Notes of cranberry with hints of black currant, green apple, and lemon. Long tart finish. Low apple flavor. Low to moderate complexity. Moderate sessionability and flavor intensity.

My Opinion: I’m not a big fan of cranberry, drier ciders, or tart ciders, so I wasn’t really into this. However, my husband loved it, as he likes all of those things.

Closing Notes: Its interesting that they only put currant in the title when it tastes more like cranberry.

Review of Angioletti’s Secco cider, from Italy. It is my first time trying this cider.

Cider: Secco sparkling Italian craft cider
Cidery: Angioletti Vero Sidro Italiano
Cidery Location: Italy
ABV: 5.0%
How Supplied: 750ml corked & caged bottle
Style: Italian craft cider

Availability: unknown

Cider Description: Made from 100% Italian apple juice (no concentrate). 5% vol. Style: ‘Secco’ / Medium-dry. Tasting note: Fine bubbles; aromas of fresh apple and white blossom are followed by intense, fresh flavours of orchard fruits, and a satisfying, clean, crisp aftertaste. Serving suggestion: Serve chilled in a large flute glass as an apéritif or alongside antipasti. Cider-maker: Matteo Corazzolla. Closure: Mushroom cork. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Gluten Free.

Cidery Description: Angioletti craft Italian ciders are made from selected apples exclusively grown in the Italian dolomites.

Based in the UK (the world’s largest cider market), we are the sales office for family-run craft Italian cider and beer ‘Sidro Birrificio’ Lucia Maria Melchiori, where all our craft ciders and beers are made. As well as Angioletti craft Italian ciders, we supply the Birra Val Di Non range of unfiltered Italian craft beers, named after the picturesque valley in which our ‘Sidro Birrificio’ is situated.

Price: $5.99
Where Bought: Total Wine in Southern CA
Where Drank: home
How Found: browsing, on a work trip

First Impression: Light straw yellow hue. Low carbonation. Smells mild, slightly sweet and acidic, and somehow reminiscent of sparkling wine.

Tasting Notes: Semi-dry. Light bodied. Low to moderate tartness and acidity. Hints of bitterness and tannins. No sourness or funk. Notes of green apple, lemon, mineral, and floral. Quick finish, with the flavor and bubbles going flat.. Low apple flavor and overall flavor intensity. Low to moderate complexity. High sessionability.

My Opinion: I thought this was pretty average. $5.99 is quite a low price though, so maybe my expectations were too high.

Most Similar to: Scandinavian Green Apple Craft Cider, although Angioletti Secco had much lower carbonation (Maybe it was an old bottle though? I’m guessing imports don’t move as quickly as local favorites.)

Closing Notes: I prefer the only other Italian cider I’ve tried, Bertolinos.

Common Cider Pineapple Guava

October 14, 2019October 10, 2019 cidersays Common Cider Co, review cider, cider review, cider tasting, Common Cider, hard cider, pineapple cider, pineapple guava, tasting notes

Review of Common Cider’s Pineapple Guava. It is my first time trying this, but I have had their Hibiscus Saison.

Cider: Pineapple Guava
Cidery: Common Cider Company
Cidery Location: Drytown CA
ABV: 6.5%
How Supplied: 6 pack of 12oz slim cans (or 22oz bottles)
Style: American craft cider from dessert apples with pineapple and guava

Availability: probably only in California (see their locator)

Cider Description: An artfully effervescent hard apple cider heightened with tropical pineapple and guava to celebrate the warmth of social festivity. Our Hawaii-inspired pineapple guava hard cider actually started out as a seasonal in 2017 but response was so strong that we have made it one of our year round products. It’s bright, fruity and off-dry; perfect with light food dishes or just by itself, with a few friends of course.

This gem also took home the Silver medal at the 2018 New York International Beer Competition, and at the 2018 World Cider Competition. Fun Fact: When you see a pineapple you think Hawaii but they actually originated in South America and are believed to have made their way to Hawaii via the Spanish in the 16th century.

Cidery Description: To open a Common Cider is to open your heart to the world. To invite conversation, to entertain new ideas, to celebrate what we all have in common. While the rest of the brewing world is busily promoting hard cider, we’re engaged with in the art of crafting human cider. Cider as a solvent for cynicism. Cider as symbol of balance and sanity. Cider as a delivery system for joy.

Price: ~ $3 / single can (runs ~ $13.99 / 6 pack, or $8.99 / 22oz bottle)
Where Bought: Total Wine in southern CA
Where Drank: home
How Found: browsing, on a business trip, where I had extra suitcase space on the way back after dropping off work stuff so I picked up quite a few ciders

First Impression: Low carbonation. Light straw yellow hue. Smells mild, tart and tropical.

Tasting Notes: Semi-dry. Light bodied. Moderate tartness and acidity. Low bitterness. No sourness, funk, or bitterness. Notes of green apple, pineapple, and a bit of something else, which tasted more like strawberry than guava to me. Moderate length finish. Low flavor intensity, complexity, and apple flavor. Moderate sessionability.

My Opinion: I thought this was ok, not really to my personal preferences, as it was so mild in flavor.

Most Similar to: Apple Outlaw Pineapple Getaway and Seattle Cider Pineapple Agave

Closing Notes: My favorite pineapple cider (of ~ 18 I’ve tried) is probably 2 Towns Pacific Pineapple, as it has tons of flavor without much sweetness, which is a rare combination.

Review of 2 Towns’ Hollow Jack’d, a seasonal imperial-style pumpkin and spice cider. I sampled a non-imperial (lower ABV) version of this previously (see here), and I’ve tried most of their line-up (see here).

>>This is a review of a sample bottle provided to Cider Says by 2 Towns. Although I will take care to treat it the same as any other review, there is always the potential for bias as I received it for free. The only consideration I knowingly made was pushing this up in my cider review cue. I love free stuff, especially cider! Want your cider or cider-related product reviewed here? Contact me.<<

Cider: Hollow Jack’d
Cidery: 2 Towns
Cidery Location: Corvallis OR
ABV: 8.4%
How Supplied: 500ml bottles, kegs
Style: American craft cider from dessert apples, with caramelized heirloom pumpkin, sweet potato, honey, and spices

Availability: October 2019, in Oregon, Washington, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Chicago, and parts of Minnesota & Montana. See their Cider Finder.

Cider Description: Extra mischievous, Hollow Jack’D takes our fall classic of fresh-pressed apples, caramelized pumpkins and sweet potatoes that are finished with local honey and spices to a whole new level.

Price: n/a (retails for ~ $6.99 / 500ml
Where Bought: n/a
Where Drank: home
How Found: I first tried it at Cider Summit Seattle 2016, but this time it just showed up

First Impression: Hazy straw yellow hue. Nearly still (low carbonation). Smells of caramelized apple and spice.

Tasting Notes: Semi-dry. Light to medium bodied. Moderate tartness and acidity. Hints of bitterness and tannins. No sourness or funk. Notes of baked apple and spices, with hints of pumpkin, sweet potato, and caramel. Moderate length boozy finish. Low to moderate sessionability and apple flavor. Moderate flavor intensity and complexity. Low to moderate pumpkin & sweet potato flavor and spice.

My Opinion: Although I’m not a huge pumpkin / spiced cider fan, I liked this one.

Most Similar to: Doc’s Draft Pumpkin cider (although that was a full sweet) and Tieton’s Smoked Pumpkin cider (although that was quite intensely flavored compared to this). I’ve also tried pumpkin ciders from Ace and Woodchuck.

Closing Notes: Unlike many pumpkin ciders (and beers), this one is actually made with pumpkin. Many just add the pie spices but still call it a pumpkin cider (or beer). Also, it is well balanced, with both the pumpkin and spices remaining light.
