The eighth of many from the New York State Cider Festival haul, Dan cracks another single varietal, Treasury Cider Brown Snout.
Treasury Cider Brown Snout
STYLE: Cider – Dry (single varietal)
INGREDIENTS: Brown Snout apples
ABV: 8.3%
AVAILABILITY: 750ml bottles (Limited)
Stats above taken from the brewery’s bottle.
Appearance
Effervescent with cascading, tiny bubbles, golden in color, with a fluffy, white head.
Aroma
Herbal notes lead followed by some earthiness, grassiness, and tart impression.
Taste
Earthy and herbal notes continue with some residual sweetness and tannin structure.
Mouthfeel
Lighter in body, super dry, with the carbonation adding a lovely “scrubbing bubbles” element.
Overall
If you are into rustic, English cider, this is definitely one for you. Pairing-wise, lighter cheeses a la aged goat cheeses to lighter cheddars hit me first, though some lighter meats and flatbreads would sing as well. You should open this up in the early afternoon on a weekend for sure.
Cheers and remember:
Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
