Beckhorn Hollow

Clear light gold pour sign heavy carbonation. Moderate to strong apple aroma. Solid apple flavor that has elements of bold acidity, light to moderate tartness, light tannins. Also has a bit of slightly bitter citrus and rind. Get a hint of minerals in the finish.

750ml bottle for $19 from the Schilling Cider House (the first time I've seen Eve's cider in the area). Made from Golden Russet, Wealthy, Wixson, Cox Orange Pippin, Northern Spy, Manchurian Crab, Spigold, and Idared (mostly heirloom varieties). Methode champenoise (naturally sparkling). Very sharp and completely dry (0% residual sugar per the cidery). I tried it mostly just to try it, knowing this isn't my favorite style of cider (my husband really loved it though). Notes of sharp crabapple bite, citrus (orange), peach, potato starch, honey, mineral, white grape, and yeast. Moderate to high complexity but low flavor intensity.
