St. Ambrose Cellars

This refreshing Cyser offers an intricate interplay between orchard fruits and forest sweetness. A bright, crisp foundation of fermented apple juice is immediately complemented by the floral, delicate aromatics of honey. Warm, woody notes of cinnamon provide a comforting spice layer, while the addition of maple syrup lends a subtle, earthy richness that rounds out the profile. Despite its complexity, the drink remains light and approachable at a sessionable strength, finishing with a balanced sweetness that highlights the natural character of the fruit and spices. It is an elegant, spiced honey-apple blend that emphasizes clarity and vibrant aromatics.

Appearance. Pale straw to light gold (SRM 3-5). No head or lacing is present due to the lack of grain proteins. Brilliant clarity with a light, sparkling effervescence.

Aroma. High intensity. Primary notes of fresh, tart apple and floral wildflower honey. Secondary aromas of spicy cinnamon and a faint, woodsy sweetness from the maple syrup. Clean fermentation with no yeast-derived esters or phenols.

Taste. Initial impression is a balance of honey sweetness and crisp apple acidity. Flavors of spicy cinnamon dominate the mid-palate, followed by a rich, caramel-like maple undertone. No hop bitterness or flavor. The finish is semi-sweet and clean with lingering notes of spice and fruit.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. Moderate carbonation provides a lively tingle. Low alcohol warmth, though the cinnamon provides a perceived spicy heat. No astringency.
