Mountain West Cider
Grade: 86 B
Mountain West’s Dry Hopped Cider is a pale straw cider that has a crisp refreshing nose. When you really breath in you get notes of sweet Maraschino cherries that will blissfully linger in your nostrils. Immediately you are struck by the dryness of this cider that also has a slight earthiness to it. The flavor is lovely without a strong hop component to it. It is fairly acidic with very clear tart notes through all three phases of the drink and reaching a slightly sour level in the prolonged finish. The apple flavor is a bit too tangy if you are aiming for dry intrigue, but overall, this is a good hopped cider if you don’t like it too bitter and want some eye-squinting tartness.
From world-class skiing to remote hiking trails to pristine climbing pitches, it takes a lifetime to fully explore Utah’s Cottonwood Canyons. Infused with hops during the final stage of fermentation, our 6.9% alcohol by volume Cottonwood Dry Hopped Hard Cider offers a bold, complex flavor equally worthy of repeated exploration.
