Commercial Description:
This Hard cider comes from a 5 acre stand of large Baldwin trees grown at the Keown Orchards in Sutton, Massachusetts. The Keown family has treasured these trees for four generations. Leomi Baldwin developed this variety in the 1790's in Wilmington, Massachusetts. Once popular, now rare, Baldwins have long been locally prized for the making of hard cider.

A mediocre cider. Faint sweetness and lightly tart. Light, dusty tannins. Meh.

750 ml bottle. Straw coloured, yellowish appearance. Very light carbonation. The aroma is quite dusty and earthy. A bit of aple sweetness and a light honeyish character as well. A bit of tart acidity but little in the way of tannins. Dryish/crisp finish. It’s a good, if very simple cider.

Has a very light yellow color with little/no carbonation and a sweet apple smell. Taste is very dry/sour and finishes just the same. Overall not a very good cider at all.
