750mL Bottle, poured at CiderDays 2011. The highlight of the salon, in my opinion. Few other ciders had so much complexity and strength in flavor, while providing a really refined structure. Tropical fruits, fresh apple juice, and minerals. Delicious enough to go back for repeated samples. An obviously wrought over, well managed, and carefully scrutinized fermentation, with great apples. Excited to see what else Castle Hill produces in the future.

How is it I’ve rated all four of these guys’ ciders 3.6? Weird. Bottle sample at the 2011 Fall NOVA Brewfest, 10/22/11. Pours a clear pale yellow with no head. Aroma of dry apple, pear and a tannic finish. The taste is tart with notes of apple, grape and pear. Very smooth. Medium bodied.
