Mountain West Cider
Grade: 84 B
Mountain West’s 7 Mile Session is nearly clear with a tart green nose that is not overpowering. The taste is very nice, it has a little bite on the tongue, but not much, and the body is really light and airy. The mouthfeel is pretty characterless and there isn’t much in the middle phase with just a little tartness in the finish that lingers awhile. This is incredibly mellow, in all honesty, maybe a little too mellow. There is not a ton of flavor—apple, acidity, tartness, or anything else. It is like a placid mountain lake and very low key. It is very dry, but I still think it would go a long way to quench your thirst if it was ice cold. When you’re hot and parched this is easy to drink without being sweet and just a hint of tartness at the end to remind you it is an apple cider after all.
Known for its historic petroglyphs and authentic Mesoamerican works of art, Seven-Mile Canyon is a popular Southern Utah destination for climbing, hiking, and exploring. Our light and refreshing 7-Mile Hard Cider contains 5% alcohol by volume and is best enjoyed with good friends under a desert sunset—just like its namesake canyon.
