Ciders-Man

TASTING NOTES:
Farmhouse Cider - “This dry cider is a rustic blend of 11 apple varieties from local, Sebastopol orchards. Our ciders are traditionally made: we hand-pick all apples at peak ripeness, grind and press, then ferment in neutral French oak barrels. Once dry, we assemble the blend of different varieties to produce a structured, complex cider. At bottling, we add Champagne yeast and priming sugar for natural carbonation, resulting in a true and unique bottle-conditioned cider, that is completely dry. This cider is unfiltered.” (AbV 8.0%)

Jonathan Cider - “As always, fully dry with a classic profile of mulling spice aromatics, caramel apple notes, round and full with a rich, red apple character, and finishing with great tannin structure and lots of spice.

This single-varietal cider was made entirely from Jonathan apples grown by Hale’s Apple Farm here in Sebastopol. The origin of the Jonathan apple is a bit murky, but it is thought to have first been discovered in Woodstock, New York, in 1826 by a man named Jonathan Hasbrouck.” (AbV 8.0%)

Hops & Honey Cider - “This dry hopped cider is a blend of 10 apple varieties from local orchards. Our ciders are traditionally made: we pick all apples at peak of ripeness, and ferment in small lots until dry. Once dry, we add whole hops and age for another month. On the day of bottling, we add wildflower honey for our priming sugar and champagne yeast for a true and unique bottle conditioned cider. This cider contains lees.” (AbV 8.0%)
