A few years ago, one of my wine and beer reps brought me a few apple ciders. I have had ciders in my past, but mostly dry monsters from northern France or western Belgium. When I tasted this and he told me it was from Michigan, I looked at him with a surprised face! I had no clue Michigan could grow such great apples, hence making such juicy cider. I learned something new. Drink more domestic ciders.
This cider is literally like taking a bite from a fresh, ripe, juicy Gala apple. Except for the kick, that's what you've got. It smells like sticking your face in a paper bag full of apples. The mouth-feel is long, mouth-watering and flat-out in your face. This is a complete opposite of what I was used to from western Europe. This cider opened up my eyes to other ciders around North America. It's my platform to ripe, juicy ciders. Awesome!! AP Rating: 91 points - 6/18/2015
