Presque Isle Farm Cider - Golden Russet (750 mL)
Presque Isle Farm Cider - Golden Russet (750 mL)
Presque Isle Farm Cider's Golden Russet is a single variety cider made 100% from Golden Russet apples - a sharp, acid forward American heirloom variety increasingly beloved by cider makers across North America.
This batch from PIF Cider is from the 2024 fruit harvest season. The Golden Russets were fermented using Saison yeast, which gives this rich, tropical fruit forward cider some nice supporting floral notes.
Tasting Notes: Tropical aromatics of papaya and cooked pineapple, plus whiffs of recognizable Golden Russet characteristics. Hints of classic Saison yeast notes on the nose. Dry to semi-dry on the palate, full bodied cider which carries considerable acidity really well. Floral and bitter notes cut through the full body and dry out the palate. Notes of papaya, pear, clove, grapefruit pith, and lots of pineapple. Subtle, pleasant earthy finish.
