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!

Pours with a chill hazed golden body with a small fizzy head. Aroma is of alcohol, cinnamon and apples. Taste is nearly cloyingly sweet. Sort of like a cheap NA apple cider with some (hardly noticable) alcohol added. Syrupy mouthfeel for the 5.5% abv. Fizzy carbonation.

22 oz. bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Piurs cloudy orange. Sweet and tart aroma of apples. Complex taste with apples, yeast notes and a subtle mustiness. Very nice.

Pour is a bright yellow/gold. Aroma is obvious able cider with a good tart character. The flavor is earthy and fairly complex for a hard cider. Nice.

Pours an orange yellow color with some slight carbonation that quickly dissapates. Aroma is sweet candied apples. Very sweet flavor, but of fizz on the tongue, alcohol present when swalled. Brown sugar finish. Overall, interesting taste.

Smells like, well, apples, as one might guess. flavor is apples, too, and very clean and not cloying or medicinal. Some sugary notes, too. Also seems a bit heavy, too. Tasty, but definately not something to drink a lot of at on sittiing.
