Snow Capped Cider
Grade: 91 A-
Snowcapped’s Gold Rush lives up to the name with a beautiful deep gold color and a nose that is tannic, rich and sweet and crisp, tart and lovely. (The golden can art color is on point too) Oh, that’s good! It tastes like a nice Norman demi-sec or cidre bouche, though obviously a bit stronger. It is sharp enough to grab your mouth’s attention to the bold flavors that follow. It has a big round fruity taste with some sweetness. It then turns tart followed by some tannic bitterness at the end. It is medium bodied with a medium sweetness level and just about the right amount of everything. This is one of those ciders that is completely drinkable but just dry and tannic enough to make it interesting. This really is fantastic cider and if you want to try what real cider apples taste like but don’t want to give up drinkability, this is a great option—especially for the price! I would definitely grab a pack of these again if I saw them.
