The six of many from the New York State Cider Festival haul, Dan revisits Little Apple Cidery Taconic Gold Dry.
Little Apple Cidery Taconic Gold Dry
STYLE: Cider – Dry
INGREDIENTS: Golden Russet, Roxbury Russet, Baldwin, and Jonagold apples
ABV: 7.9%
AVAILABILITY: 750ml bottles
Stats above taken from the brewery’s bottle and website.
Appearance
Brilliant, yellow-gold, clear, with small-bubble carbonation.
Aroma
Reminiscent of Golden Delicious apple flesh with a nice earthiness and hint of sweetness.
Taste
A touch of acidity hit the mid-palate, with a bright apple juice/flesh flavor.
Mouthfeel
Bone dry, with that moderate carbonation and a medium body.
Overall
This was another really solid one. If you have a Sauvignon Blanc drinker in your life, this would be a fun one for them to sample. You can go the dessert route with compote or cheeses on a pairing perspective, but also was feeling a buffalo mozzarella or goat cheese salad/sandwich.
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.
