2 Towns Ciderhouse
Grade: 90 A-
One of my favorite 2 Towns ciders, this drink is slightly cloudy with a yellowish pale straw color. This has a lightly foul/fermented aroma that is unpleasant on the nose and not for the faint of heart. You’ve been warned! However, this cider fits in a unique space of straddling the border between being a complex standard cider—with some sweetness and prominent apple flavor—and a farmhouse cider. They’ve done this by using a traditionally sweet apple (low acidity and low tannins)—Jonagold—but with production methods that leave the edges rough. In this case I think it worked really well. While it definitely has a strong raw flavor, compared to some farmhouses it is much more drinkable and has a complex mouthfeel that makes it really interesting. So if you like it bold, and want to get outside, pick up one of these.
Rugged and fresh, OutCider isn’t afraid of taking the trail less traveled. Jonagold apples are pressed, fermented, and left unfiltered, so you can experience their raw character.
Fall is in the Air
