This Wood-aged Cider offers a sophisticated marriage of fruit and forest. The sensory profile is led by the aroma of crisp, tart apple skins and a distinct undercurrent of toasted oak. On the palate, the 6.2% ABV provides a sturdy backbone for flavors of dried apple, vanilla, and a hint of clove. The oak conditioning introduces a pleasant structural tannin that balances the natural sweetness of the fruit, leading into a dry, lingering finish. It captures a rustic yet refined profile where the wood enhances the primary apple character without overwhelming the delicate pomme fruit esters.
Appearance.Pale gold (SRM 5). Brilliant clarity. Sparse white bubbles that dissipate quickly, leaving no lacing.
Aroma.Moderate-high intensity of fermented pomme fruit and fresh apple juice. Toasted oak, light vanilla, and faint cinnamon spice emerge as it warms. Clean fermentation with low floral esters.
Taste.Dry to off-dry initial impression. Dominant tart apple flavor is complemented by subtle wood-derived vanilla and tannins. Zero hop bitterness. Balanced toward fruit acidity and wood structure. Clean, dry finish with a lingering oak-driven complexity.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a slight tannic grip. Moderate carbonation provides a crisp, lively tingle. Smooth, low alcohol warmth. Mild astringency from the oak conditioning.
