The tenth of many from the New York State Cider Festival haul, Dan resamples a single varietal from Asturias, Collaos, from Treasury Cider.
Treasury Cider Collaos
STYLE: Cider – Asturias Dry (single varietal)
INGREDIENTS: Collaos apples
ABV: 7.4%
AVAILABILITY: 750ml bottles (Limited)
Stats above taken from the brewery’s bottle.
Appearance
Medium yellow in hue and clear, with very small, tight-bubbled carbonation.
Aroma
A distinct acid note that hits first, with some woody/oaky notes along with some earthy and fresh herb nuances.
Taste
Starts off with the tartness before transitioning to an oak tannin note, with the expressive fruit coming together with the earthy elements and hint of funk.
Mouthfeel
Fairly dry, with the a medium body and slight carbonation.
Overall
I love cider from Asturias, and would have loved to enjoy this from a porrón. Pairing-wise, I want rustic dishes or tapas, with fresh spices/herbs a plenty.
Cheers and remember:
Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
