Cider Crate Tasting Notes:
Smell: Strong aroma. Caramelized and astringent apples. Funk and earth.
Initial Taste: No bite. Pulpy, caramelized apple notes with acidity on the nose. Orange/citrus hints. Thick with orange wine elements.
After Taste: Acidity continues, with apples becoming slightly drier, leaving your mouth pretty dry. Slight wood/earth hints that linger. Mild smokiness at the finish. Somewhat long lasting.
On ice: Much thinner body. Less harsh notes. More juice-forward.
Additional Notes: Loch Mór’s Harrison is a part of their Danforth Road series that makes elevated offerings with rare and unique apples. This cider smells and tastes very different from one another. While it smells strong, astringent and funky, it’s actually much smoother to consume. A caramelized, pulpy apple flavour drives this throughout. While it smells decently alcoholic – and is 8.3% – it tastes much lighter. With some skin contact wine-like notes, its almost like a hybrid with an orange wine and an ice cider in flavour. Acidic, pulpy apples make this taste very juice forward – almost tastes like fresh pressed, unfiltered high quality juice.
