Golden Crab
Gold Medal Winner.
The Golden Crab is a still, high acid cider, beautiful balance of fermented and fresh flavors, most notably pomme fruits and tropical fruits. The still texture highlights how high and arching cider’s acidity can be without becoming pointed or punishing. The fruit notes are pomme fruits and tropical fruits. Slow, cold-fermented in stainless steel barrels on DV-10 yeast. Unfiltered. 50/50% blend of two sought-after American sharps - The Wickson Crabapple and the Golden Russet.
