The sixth of many from the New York State Cider Festival haul, Dan revisits Little Apple Cidery Taconic Gold Dry.

STYLE: Cider – Dry
INGREDIENTS: Golden Russet, Roxbury Russet, Baldwin, and Jonagold apples
ABV: 7.9%
AVAILABILITY: 750ml bottles

Stats above taken from the brewery’s bottle and website.

Brilliant, yellow-gold, clear, with small-bubble carbonation.

Reminiscent of Golden Delicious apple flesh with a nice earthiness and hint of sweetness.

A touch of acidity hit the mid-palate, with a bright apple juice/flesh flavor.

Bone dry, with that moderate carbonation and a medium body.

This was another really solid one. If you have a Sauvignon Blanc drinker in your life, this would be a fun one for them to sample. You can go the dessert route with compote or cheeses on a pairing perspective, but also was feeling a buffalo mozzarella or goat cheese salad/sandwich.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
