Commercial Description:
Reine de Pomme, an old French cider apple, is blended with Dabinett, Baldwins and, Catamounts to make a full-bodied, distinctively tannic and darkly fruity hard cider. As in the traditional French style, no sulfites are added and a malic-lactic fermentation takes place in the bottle leaving a tasty sediment.

Bottle purchased in Otis. Pours a hazy amber with a fizzy rapidly dissipating head. The first aroma that struck me in this cider is honey followed by an intense astringent light acidic smell that blends incely with some sweet apple aroma. Taste is of dry tarte apples with hints of honey and touches of residual sugar. Mouthfeel is very tingly along the lines of a crisp champagne. Finish is dry and lightly acidic with some citric trace qualities. One of the better local ciders I’ve had.

Has a light amber/yellow color with little carbonation and an apple/light alcohol smell. Taste is light, crisp with a bit of fizz and finishes with a nice dry apple cider flavor. Overall a good cider that I wish came in a bigger bottle.
