Commercial Description:
When Simon Metcalfe came to Vermont from Yorkshire in the late 1700s, he undeoubtedly brought with him his taste for the fine hard ciders made in England. Today we're endeavoring to continue the tradition of ciders that have been made in New England since colonial times. To do this, we use a unique blend of Vermont-grown apples, including many that were more common when cider was New England's most popular drink. Our blend includes such cider favorites as Winesap, Baldwin, Northern Spy, Rhode Island Greening and Golden Delicious.

A apple juice look on pour. Smells of apples as well. It is a very sweet cider but pleasing after you’ve had a glass or too. Not to potent but enough to get you feeling it.

Bouteille verte de 750 ml achetée chez Apple Barn & Country Bake Shop (Bennington, VT). Arôme: Odeur de pomme avec une pointe d’épices. Apparence: La couleur est paille. Saveur: Goût de pomme avec une pointe de miel. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement vineuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Présence de pomme en arrière goût. (Rating #1358)

750ml bottle: Pale yellow body without carbonation. Very fine particles can be seen suspended in the body, but to be honest it takes concentration to really see them because it’s mostly clear and filtered. The aroma shows some crisp & sweet apple and just a bit of lightly tart apple. Smells very fresh. Taste is fresh apples as well as a bit of tart apple, with just a hint of alcohol showing through, creating light flavors of clove, then some hints of wood. Light bodied, still, finishes with some light residually sweet apple.

First off, this is the first cider I’ve had since my college days and Woodchuck. Pours clear yellow and very still. Nice sweet and tart aroma, very crisp. Flavor is a bit too sweet, I’d rather have it be a bit more tart and crisp. It is dry, however. Very crisp. Nice.

Pours yellow and fizzy. Smells of tarte ripe apples with a hint of spices. Flavor is light and clean with hints of tarte apples.
