Samuel Smith's is Yorkshire's oldest brewery, and this cider is produced from organically grown apples. There are three apples on the label (red, green, and McIntosh), and the nutrition facts and ingredients (water, organic apple juice, organic cane sugar) are also listed. We also like that there are food pairings listed: "Serving suggestions: Cream soups; salad with vinaigrette dressing; a classic companion to pork dishes; wonderful to clean the palate after spicy food yet subtle enough to pair with delicate flavours." It is best served at about 44 degrees and is 5% ABV.
The description alone has us very excited: "A medium dry cider with brilliant straw colour, light body, clean apple flavour and a gentle apple blossom finish."
Overall average rating: 8.3/10
This cider is a beautiful golden/straw color with a sustainable white head. Chris thinks it resembles a pilsner. There is a rich apple aroma with a touch of apple blossom. The apple taste is rich, almost buttery, with just a hint of the apple blossom, and it bites on the sides of the tongue. This one is a lot sweeter than the previous two ciders.
Shawn- The bottle could not have described this any better. The bitter finish offsets the sweetness of the initial taste. This is very drinkable and extremely well done. I was not really looking forward to cider week, but this is delicious, 8.5/10.
Angela- I lied before when I didn't think I'd like a sweeter cider. This is the sweetest one we have had, and I like it the best by far. I really enjoy the sweet taste accompanied by the slight bitter bite at the end, 8/10.
Chris- This is one of the ciders I would suggest to anyone to drink. It is a fantastically well-balanced cider, and the fact that it is organic and gluten free adds to its overall amazement, 8.5/10.
