Elderberry

It’s got a very distinctive taste, from the elderberry I guess, which is very prominent. Quite tart, and not too sweet.

Had this for the first time. In fact was my first elderberry cider. After being exposed to elderflower cider while in England, I wanted to try an elderberry. I read it adds some nice bitters and color, and it does. It reminds me of pomegranate cider except that it’s slightly more purple in color. Original sin did a very nice job with this cider. Nice balance on sweet, acid, and bitters. I really enjoyed and highly recommend.

At Chicago Cider Summit. Dry but sweet? Yes, it's true. There's something about this cider that brings you in but leaves it less than perfect.

This one has such a great flavor without being overpowering. It's also perfect for Monty Python references. I like it as its not too sweet but it's not something I would choose over a local cider.
