Dan enjoys his last Indian Ladder Farms Cidery and Brewery Cider Donut cider while recapping his experience at the NY Cider Festival.
Indian Ladder Farms Cidery and Brewery Cider Donut
STYLE: Cider – Herbed / Spiced / Hopped
INGREDIENTS: Cinnamon, vanilla
ABV: 6.1%
IBU: N/A
AVAILABILITY: 16 oz. cans/Draft (Limited)
Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and website.
Appearance
Straw yellow and a touch hazy with a small, white head and some lacing on the glass.
Aroma
Fresh apples, cinnamon, and vanilla, with a hint at acidity behind it.
Taste
Liquid cider donut with a hint of tart on the finish, but not too cloyingly sweet.
Mouthfeel
Off dry with a lighter mouthfeel and gentle carbonation.
Overall
I know you all love cider donuts, so this is a hedonistic cider for sure. This is a great cider to have on its own, either as a snack or after a meal. I wonder if this could be gently warmed? Pairing-wise, I would go with apple-based desserts and/or some ice cream or custard equivalents.
I had such a blast at the festival…I HIGHLY recommend it. If you are just hearing about the NY Cider Festival care of the New York Cider Association from this, I hope to see you there next year!
Cheers and remember:
Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
