Interesting taster sampler presentation. You get 4 ACES and a Joker.
Clockwise from 12 o'clock - Joker (the only one with 8% alcohol), ACE of Apple, ACE of Apple-Honey(made with Sonoma wildflower honey), ACE of Perry, ACE of Berry.
The color of cider starts to darken as you go clockwise. In addition, you begin to explore more complexity as the mix of berries blends with cider in ACE of Berry.
With 8% alcohol, no wonder it's a joker among all the other 5% ACES.
Joker - Strong and dry with Champagne-like flavors
ACE of Perry- A light refreshing pear flavor and natural vanilla from Madagascar
ACE of Apple - fermented apple cider
The fermented apple cider ~ made from six different local apples varieties
We can't drink with empty stomachs...give us some meat!

ReplyDeleteI could so do all that, MINUS the sauerkraut, I've never got along well with sauerkraut, not even when I was in Germany staying with a German family.
