Rebel Apple

Rebel Apple Woodchuck presents a rustic sensory experience defined by its farmhouse origins. Fermented with wild yeasts, the profile opens with an assertive aromatic complexity of earthy funk and bruised orchard apples. The integration of oak aging introduces a subtle woody structure and light tannins that balance the natural tartness. Unfiltered and unrefined, this cider showcases a vibrant apple core complemented by the nuanced interplay of wild fermentation byproducts. It strikes a balance between traditional orchard character and a modern, wood-kissed complexity, finishing with a lingering, slightly dry, and rustic depth that honors its unpolished, farmhouse-style intent.

Appearance. Pale gold to light amber. Persistent haze due to being unfiltered. Minimal head formation with fast-dissipating bubbles; slight lacing is possible but typically fleeting.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant aromas of rustic, funky wild yeast—evoking barnyard and damp hay—alongside ripe, slightly bruised apples. Moderate oak character providing hints of seasoned wood and very faint vanilla. Low acidity notes and subtle spicy esters.

Taste. Initial impression is of tart, fresh apple juice evolving into a complex mid-palate of earthy funk. The wild yeast provides a savory, leathery depth. Light oak tannins provide structure without being overpowering. Low bitterness derived from apple skins. Finishes dry to off-dry with a lingering apple-skin and woody aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slight creamy texture from the unfiltered solids. Moderate carbonation. Subtle alcohol warmth consistent with its strength. Noticeable but pleasant astringency from oak aging.
