The Ciders

---

Winter Melon is a Formosan delight, used in Taiwan to flavor thing anything from soups to bubble tea.  We've introduced it in a cider and make versions that range from absolutely dry to semi sweet.  

Lightly flavored with Winter Melon. On tap is the driest off the series, crisp and to the point. Notes of late summer and early autumn. Slightly Carbonated. 

 Mei Mei, the little sister, adds caramelized pineapple to our Winter Melon.  For this one, we strain the chunked pineapple and roast it until the sugars turn brown, then add back the juice and blend it into the Winter Melon cider to further caramelize.  

Warm and lush, lightly Sweetened. Flavors of late summer and early autumn. Sweetness of caramelized pineapple and slightly tangy 

Di Di, the little brother, adds ginger to the Winter Melon cider during cooking, adding the first layer of flavor.  Fresh ginger is then is added at the end of the process, adding sharpness and heat to the final product.  

Flavors are warm and tangy with the snap of fresh ginger 

Lightly accented with citron and ginger. A touch of honey brings the fruit forward. Yes, this is dry, Tastes like the first warm days of a sunny spring.    

If we were to follow the recipe for a Belgian Ale, but use apples instead of grains, what would  we get?  Or first foray into beer-inspired ciders is George's Washington Cider.  Except for the hops, we treated it as if we were brewing a Belgian Ale.  Expect the hopped version next year.  

Crisp and tangy, with earth notes. Inspired by Belgian Ales

Excellent with food. Off Dry & Lightly Carbonated 

The GrapeFruit Experience: George’s WA Cider with Grapefruit. and a touch of Mosaic Hops.  Crisp, refreshing, and tangy, with citrus notes.

Excellent with late spring sunny days that almost feel like t-shirt weather.

Slightly more delicate and floral than George's Washington Cider, SoDo Cider is the English Ale twist of the same beer-brewed ciders.  Due to it's delicate nature, SoDo Cider is available only in our tasting room.  We plan to continue this theme with other recipes, and in the spring will be releasing our He-Faux-Weizen.   

Soft, floral with hints of fruit. Finishes dry. Lightly sweetened with fresh pressed cider.

Off Dry & Lightly Carbonated 

Roasted Hatch Chili is the first of our Latin inspired line.  It's a beverage, not a challenge. We want you to enjoy it on its own, or with food, so it won't overwhelm you.  The cider is fermented dry, then the chilies are added.  We lightly sweeten the finished product with agave: just enough sugar to coat the lips and tongue and let the heat and flavor build. You'll notice the full flavor and warmth by about the third sip.
