Cider Crate Tasting Notes:
Smell: Strong aroma. Semi-sweet with some earthiness. Sour and tannin notes. Very apple-forward.
Initial Taste: Mild acidic bite. Quickly apple forward – with sour and dessert apple flavours noticeable. Slight earthiness.
After Taste: Apple flavours continue, with the sour notes dissipating slightly. Becomes creamier. Fleshy apple flavour. Semi-dry finish. Lingers a while.
On ice: Generally the same cider but all elements become more mild/reduced.
Additional Notes: Farmed & Dangerous is a very good example of an apple-forward cider, that doesn’t mess around with unnecessary flavours. With a medley of apple flavours, it is sweet with a touch of sour – a nice example of the recently emerging definition of what an ‘Ontario Apple Cider’ is. With fleshy apple tastes, it tastes fresh, crisp and with many farm-to-can influences. It helps that part of the proceeds helps injured farmers – a cider we can all feel good about drinking!
