The final bottle from the New York State Cider Festival haul, Dan toasts with a Pet Nat dry one, String Theory, from South Hill Cider.
South Hill Cider String Theory
STYLE: Cider – Dry (Pet Nat)
ABV: 7.1%
RS: 2.6%
AVAILABILITY: 750ml bottles (Limited)
Stats above taken from the bottle/website.
Appearance
Slightly hazy but translucent and orange/gold in color with tight, ascending bubbles.
Aroma
Herbal note leads with an impression of tart fruit and a hint of honey.
Taste
Honey hits first, with peach following and finishes off-dry.
Mouthfeel
Fairly light on the palate, mouthcoating and with mild carbonation.
Overall
This was a fun one to close out the haul with for sure. I definitely would recommend to a natural cider or wine enthusiast. Pairing-wise, I would go with some lighter flatbread preparations, mild to medium-strength cheeses, and perhaps sabayon or other related desserts
Cheers and remember:
Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
