Tall Ship Cider - Unsinkable Sam Dry Cider
Tall Ship Cider - Unsinkable Sam Dry Cider
These ciders from Tall Ship Cider in Norway are only available in highly limited quantities. Made by Abram Goldman-Armstrong, previously of Cider Riot in Portland, Oregon. Abram relocated to Sandefjord, Norway, where he now makes cider & beer at Tall Ship Cider. The Nordic countries in Northern Europe are home to a flourishing cider renaissance. We were fortunate to get our hands on a small number of cans of Abram's ciders while he and several other cider makers were in Portland for CiderCon 2024. (Pssst, we have a very small number of vertical flights of Cider Riot's 1763 West County ciders. E-Mail us and we might make one available to you.)
About Unsinkable Sam, from Abram: A fresh and fruity blend of Katje (Katy) and Discovery apples grown in the mountains of Norway's Telemark region. Notes of royal anne cherry, ripe strawberry, with a bright hint of acidity in the finish. One of our most popular on-premise ciders in Oslo pubs. In the style of a classic Norwegian cider but without chaptilatization, filtration or back sweetening. I was initially shocked by the level of acidity in Norwegian apples, and looked at it as challenge to overcome as a cidermaker, with Unsinkable Sam I embraced it, and I'm very pleased I did. Unsinkable Sam has earned its place in my heart one of my favorite session ciders, and is perfect with cod, whitefish, or the Norwegian summer favorite rekker og loff (bay shrimp with butter and whitebread). Label design by Bugtears from Sandefjord.
