Aaron Burr Cidery 'East Branch' Homestead Cider 2023 500ml

Aaron Burr Cidery has become the sought-after icon of local, traditional cider making. This small homestead farm dates back to the early 1800s and is located in Wurtsboro, NY, in Sullivan County. Aaron Burr's name was on the original deed of the home, and a rebellious energy pulses through everything made by Andy Brennan and Polly Giragosian. Dedicated to making "true cider," once the most popular drink in America, their main source of apples are those that they forage themselves around the Hudson Valley and Lower Catskills. Part of their Locational Cider Series, this bottling is produced from unsprayed wild and uncultivated bittersharp apples foraged from the East Branch of the Delaware River watershed. Off-dry, cloudy, and mildly effervescent, it displays a rich carrot-amber color. Bold notes of bright clementine and mango melt into butterscotch and caramel on the palate, with noticeable tannin. Like all of Aaron Burr ciders, this bottling will get drier and slightly more carbonated with age.
