Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Strong aroma. Citra-hops. Slight lemon, earthiness and grassy notes. Minimal bright apple.
Initial Taste: Light bite, Medium hops that are balanced with a semi-sweet, but not overly crisp apple. A little dry with some wine influence. Hops are bright here – citrus-focused.
After Taste: A bit of the bitterness shows in the aftertaste with a somewhat clean finish.  Grassy-like notes linger.
On ice: Elements reduced, less bitter and floral.

Additional Notes:  The Cidrerie St-Nicolas – Le St-Nic Houblonné is a balanced hopped offering.  Between the sharp and the floral elements, it’s slightly bright, with a hint of sweetness but still dry.  Some wine-like elements and a slight film in the finish.  Grassy and bitter notes give it unique elements.
