Product Detail

Description:

Bittersweet takes its name from a class of cider apples, which are high in sugar and tannins.  Biting into one of these apples is a surprise; the skin is thick and bitter and the flesh juiceless and crumbly with a drying astringency.  Yet these are the qualities that make bittersweets ideal for fermented cider.  Our Bittersweet Cider is a blend of over 20 English, French and American cider apples and is naturally carbonated and finished semi-dry.

Bittersweet is bubbly, and fruity with a hint of sweetness. It has abundant aromas of green and ripe apple, earthy undertones and a crisp finish.  Bittersweet is our most accessible cider, perfect on a picnic with fresh cheese and a hunk of crusty bread.  Bittersweet is also excellent for brunch with eggs Florentine and lemon ricotta French toast or on a summer evening with grilled vegetables and spicy shrimp skewers.
