On this earth day we take a walk with the Taper La Trail by @le_grand_saint_charles is a blend of various Quebec apples. Its funky and dry with a hint of natural apple sweetness. Long lingering but not pungent, it’s on the acidic side and not a beginner cider. If you want a little umpf, this has it. Some trub present. A good example of a newer emerging style from Quebec producers.Rated on a scale of 1-5
Sweet – 2
Sour – 4
Crisp – 3
Dry – 4
Fruity – 3.5Full review on our site

Did a lovely little @calvados_boulard tasting this week at @gitanes. $9 for 2oz, 0.5oz x 4 choices, was a true winner!Did you know calvados is made with fully fermented cider? Most cider makers in France also make a calvados, so it’s a great way to ensure no product goes to waste and create something truly magical while you’re at it.This flight featured their original Pays D’Auge you can find at the lcbo, their XO (which was so smooth and rich), as well as two cask finished choices - rye and whisky barrels.It’s amazing to see the subtle and large differences the various processes can make. But all truly spectacular to try.And a fun fact for you: after landing in Normandy, many Canadian Forces regiments would give their soldiers calvados to get through their days during WWII, and since then it has become a drink of choice of marking various occasions..

If you're on I81 (or anywhere close) you should make a stop at @1911established amazing taproom and (if you can get an invite), production facility in New York State just south of Syracuse. With one of the largest selections of cider offerings in the world, it's got something for everyone; explore their donut flavoured offering, their fruit ciders, single varietals or complex elevated blends.And the food, and the orchard, and the spirits and .... Well you get the idea.

This single varietal by @sagebirdciderworks features the little known (for us Canadians) Black Twig. A bit smoother than many other single varieties, it's still very dry with a semi-strong bitter sharp base. Slightly tannic that becomes a bit more peel focused in a long lingering aftertaste. Lovely heirloom apples, it has a hint of earth in the finish.Very nice taproom and chat with the staff.

Do we dream in black and white or do we dream in technicolour? Fiona may have an answer for us.@heartwoodcidery brings a very soft and creamy offering in their Fiona’s Dreamscape. Low acid and a creamy, buttery body define this very dry cider. A blend of apple notes, that mainly taste fleshy in nature, it’s a soft, almost relaxing drinking experience, as the body is light and no bold elements - like much bitterness or tannins - to distract.If there was ever a calming cider, this would be it. Excellence once again from our friends at Heartwood..

Made with varieties of apples that have been cultivated locally in Southwest Ontario for over 100 years now - hence the name Century Hard Cider - this one by @heemans is certainly worth a try.Inside this bottle you will find Golden Delicious, Snow Tolman Sweet and Rhode Island Greening apples - all varieties found in North America. It features traditionally ‘sweet’ low acid and low tannins apples, but it’s not too sweet overall.Definitely a unique one that intrigues the senses. And we love its purpose, of educating of local varieties and their history!.

We are officially closer to June than December, but yet it looks like the dang holiday season outside! I guess we should always remember we always get 2nd and 3rd winter before Spring actually arrives…And although it may be April, we can enjoy this June Dry Cider by @johnstons_cranberries. At 10% (‼️) it won’t take you long before you feel warm again. Dry, sharp apples with a forward acidity, really define this beautiful cider. A good level of tannins that enhance and not distract, from the medley of other apple notes within. It’s a great sipper, anytime of the year..

Ever had a huckleberry before? What about a huckleberry cider?We are big fans of this lesser known berry, and really appreciate it in this @ernestcider. Tart, gritty and earthy, like a good wild berry should be. If you like blueberries, there is a strong chance you will appreciate this berry and cider too!.

A beautiful day for a beautiful cider ☀️If you like traditional, tannic and super crisp ciders made with some of the best cider apples around, the West Country by @twoblokescider is for you. Kingston Blacks, Dabinetts and a new one for us, Sweet Copins, marvellously blend together for a rich cider experience.A forward acidity and gripping tannins, with a pleasant amount of natural sweetness, this one is for everyone, but English cider fans would particularly be fond of this one.So good, it really reminds us of why we love cider so much ❤️.

We just drank our 5/5 @daughterscider we got last fall and we have to say - wow, do not sleep on this cider maker ‼️You can find them at Footstep Organics, north of Price Edward County and the 401 in Wooler, and this is an excellent stop on your next journey in the area.We particularly liked this Wild Pair perry. A muddled, juicy pear that has a mild touch of natural sweetness, it somehow tastes both so fresh and also with a satisfying fermented base.Can’t wait to see what they come with next. A true gem in the area that just adds to why the region is so prime and creating a new standard for ciders and perries in Ontario..

Have you ever had an amphora-aged cider or perry?

Have you ever had an amphora-aged cider or perry? It’s an ancient technique of aging wines in clay vessels that traces back to thousand of years ago. It’s a long lost technique that has seen a revival for the modern times, and that includes cidermakers adapting it to their craft as well. The inside of these terracotta clay pots are very porous, adding a lot of unique characteristics to the liquids within.Here we have the Breccia Perry by @revelcider. If you’ve ever been to their taproom in Guelph, you will have probably seen two massive clay structures at the end of the warehouse. This is their first offering aged in these, a perry, with only 48 cases produced of this.There are a lot of unique notes in this. The pears are most dry, but with a bit of residual sweetness as pears have unfermentable sugars. It starts off dank, funky and sour, becoming warmer as it goes along. It almost becomes a toasted caramelized note by the finish - possibly from the clay. You also get a decent amount of minerality, saline and herby-like notes in this - presumably also from the clay.We can’t wait to see what else Revel ages in these beauties..
