Hale & True Cider Co.
Grade: 87.5 B+
This one’s unique. With a beautiful amber color, a small head and a fruity and complex aroma, this cider unfolds in two stages. Upon first swig you definitely get the maple flavor, though it mellows the more your drink it. Next, you get some tartness from the cranberry, but it is not prominent and overall the drink pretty dry and not particularly fruity. There is something about the savoriness of the maple flavor that makes me crave bacon. Unlike any cider I’ve ever had. The innovation in this case payed off.
Fermented with cranberries and local maple syrup, tart and aromatic, off-dry
