Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Strong aroma. Semi-sweet, semi-bright, juicy classic apple
Initial Taste: Minimal bite. Slightly tangy, semi-bright and crisp apple. Some sour notes, bitterness and acidity. Very crisp and sharp.
After Taste: Becomes less juice focused leaving a bit more sour and bitter apple elements. Saline notes linger.
On ice: Minimal change. Slightly less apply focused

Additional Notes:  The Burton City Cider – Classic Apple is just that.  Classically sharp, showcasing the characteristics of a great Canadian apple cider. A little bit of everything in this offering. Medium levels of acidity, flavour, tannins and apple juice elements that are extra clean (no fermentation elements).  If you are looking for a great definition of an approachable, apple focused but full bodied and balanced cider – you find it in this Classic Apple cider. Lots of depth with a slight saline finish.
