Commercial Description:
Orchard Gate Gold is fermented naturally from a proprietary blend of organic apples grown here at our Koan Family Orchards in Michigan. Our family has been producing hard ciders here since the 1860's. This is the same traditional recipe that helped save our farm during the Great Depression. Enjoy our authentic Farmhouse "Scrumpy" Cider!

Different label, now says Organic and it is 5.5. Light golden cider, no head or lace. Light sweet apple aromas,some pear there too. VERY sweet, like sweet apple juice some tartness but not a hint of complexity. Cloying on the palate. Not a good cider at all.

Bomber. Pours a murky, cloudy, glowing golden-amber color. A minimal, fat-bubbled head fizzes away quickly. A swirl of the glass reveals lightly runny sheeting. Sweet and sugary, the apple juice nose reveals both juicy red and tart green varieties. There are hints of oaky vanilla, but only in trace quantities. Flavors follow suit, sweet-tart and soda-like, with a fresh apple juice simplicity. With obtuse carbonation and a sugary body, the palate is full enough but borders on cloying. Overall, it’s a simple little soda-like cider.

JK Scrumpys Hard Cider was not at all what I expected it. The apperance is very light and not looking like a good cider. There was little to no carbonation, the taste was also nothing to be desired for.

Deep Bronze. No head. Aroma: Crisp apple, vinigar. Flavor: Tart apple, vinigar. Seet & sour. Sour finish. I was hoping for better from Michigan Apples. OVERRATED!
