Commercial Description:
Orchard Gate Gold is fermented naturally from a proprietary blend of organic apples grown here at our Koan Family Orchards in Michigan. Our family has been producing hard ciders here since the 1860's. This is the same traditional recipe that helped save our farm during the Great Depression. Enjoy our authentic Farmhouse "Scrumpy" Cider!

Pours with a chill hazed golden body with a small fizzy head. Aroma is of alcohol, cinnamon and apples. Taste is nearly cloyingly sweet. Sort of like a cheap NA apple cider with some (hardly noticable) alcohol added. Syrupy mouthfeel for the 5.5% abv. Fizzy carbonation.

I really liked this! Scrumpy’s is an upscale cider. pours a nice golden color with an apple nose that is somewhat sour. It’s an easy drinking apple juice, with just the right amount of sweetness. I found it very refreshing and smooth. I’m keeping one in the Fridge all summer!

Pours gold/yellow with a fine, white head. Aroma is mildly sour, akin to vinegar. Flavor is sweet with a very unique flavor. Very tasty and very interesting.

Gold with white head that dies away completely. Aroma is sweet apple, with a hint of rotten apple in the background. Flavor is sweet, fresh apple, with a touch of sour twang and alcohol. Nice carbonation, and a bit of yeast pokes through toward the end of the bottle. Tasty, for sure, but not all that interesting.

As a fruit beer lover, this was right up my alley. Poured a beautiful honey gold color and had a sweet aroma of apples, grapes and honey. Very little fizzy head. First drink was shockingly sweet, I had the jaw lock thing going on! It reminded me of a good Riesling. Very light and smooth. Easy drinking!
