Incline Cider Company
Grade: 82 B-
Incline’s White Peach has a blurry deep gold color that is beautiful, and it smells deeply of peaches. The aroma is almost sour, and the hops really amplify that peach flavor. The drink itself has a nice mouthfeel with a medium amount of sharpness that is smooth, dry and tart. The flavor really drops out in the middle phase which is followed by a finish that is tart, bordering on sour, with a definite bitter feel created by the hops. However, for me, it is a bit too much hops and the bitter flavor really sticks around for too long. The bitterness overpowers the more delicate peach notes. I’ve had a number of hop-infused ciders from Incline over the last couple of years—most of which I’ve loved—but this one works the least well of al of theirs that I have tried. That being said this was still a good cider that was enjoyable, but the balance was not quite right to make it a great cider.
Bursting with white peach flavor while remaining clean, crisp, and crushable.
