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 a hazy gold with no head. Aroma is just like unfiltered apple cider. The flavor is really close as well, nice and crisp with a heavy sugar flavor. Tasty and very drinkable. Yum.

Bottle: Pale translucent yellow with no real head. The nose is bright with apples, cinnamon, caramelized sugar, and hints of fresh baked apple pie. Upon first taste I can again sense the fresh baked pie, down to a crispy crust. More fresh apple and more cinnamon. Son of a bitch! This can’t be organic, it tastes too damn good. On a side note, I have had few ciders to compare this with that were any good. So... for the time being, a higher rating is due for this delicious treat. Really, if you dig it, give it props.

Bottle. Pours sparkling golden orange. Crisp red apple aroma. Nice light red apple sweetness with a very light tartness. Tasty.

22 oz. bottle purchased at Food Emporium. Pours a hazy light gold color with minimal carbonation. Aroma: Sweet apple. Flavor: Tastes just like regular apple cider...smooth, and it doesn’t taste like there is much alcohol.

Bottle from Crown #19. Poured hazy pale color with a minimal white head that diminished quickly with minimal lacing. Moderate aroma of sweet apple. Light to medium body with a dry texture and lively carbonation. Heavy sweet apple flavor with a medium to heavy sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations were met.

Appearance: Pours out a hazy, orange-gold body with a few gurgled bubbles from the hearty pour, but no appreciable head formation. Smell: As expected, it’s a nose of apples, at times sweetish, at other times slightly tart. Taste: Amalgam of both sweet and tart farm-fresh apples splashed lightly with a good Viognier wine. Rather small hint of mustiness tucked away in the background. Light acidity. Minimal hint of alcohol on the sweet-tart finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Lightly carbonated. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Drinkability: Just a hair sweeter than I’d prefer it to be. Still, it’s nice to have a cider that’s not chock full of sulfites and dishearteningly watery.
