Liberty Ciderworks, Spokane WA. 55 Chain English Style Cider. Label claims it to be “dry, tannic and fruit-forward” with Dabinett, Chisel Jersey, and Brown’s cider-specific varietals. Golden brown, excellent clarity, light carbonation, not much head on initial pour. Some oak barreling. Lightly malic with restrained aromatics. Tannic level highly complementary with a light touch on the wood extraction, thankfully. Exceedingly well crafted, great stuff. — 2 years ago

Oh yeah...that dreadful 2011-vintage that is so undrinkable...

Made by Thomas R. Brown and kept at a modest 14.1% alc.

We all have different palates and preferences but for those of us who don't think wine should taste like molasses, jam, dry Port or have the viscosity of motor oil this is actually a good starting point. — 8 years ago

Still holding it together with quite a few years left. As brown as Johnny Footballs jersey. Definitely musky with a good amount of barnyard. Held up well to the peppery pork tenderloin. What a treat! — 10 years ago
