Commercial Description:
We hand craft naturally fermented alcoholic hard cider using only the finest quality ingredients. Our hard cider is produced in small batches using only fresh pressed locally grown apples. Our hard cider is made from a hand selected blend of apples to create a refreshing balance between sweetness and acidity. Bronze color, mild bitterness, mild sweetness, fragrant fruity aroma, clean refreshing apple flavor.

Alright, well, I was wrong. Less sweetness didn't improve this any--they went straight from juicy to puckering. Few aromatics, a whiff of must and dust. Body is good, with soft carbonation, but hell, there was no apple taste to it. I guess I better stick to fresh cider, if I can ever find unpasteurized cider again. =(

Even more disappointing than their Semi-Sweet offering. Nose was pretty favorable as it was subtle wood barrel over apples. Appearance was quite light with a descent head. Flavor at the was begining was so tart it bordered on sour. Finished a little softer, but didn't leave any qualities to let you know it was of crisp orchard apples. Not their best offering.
