Wild Hearts

Wild Hearts is our barrel-fermented dry cider, made entirely with local apples (GoldRush and EverCrisp) from Quarry Hill Orchards. Fermented in a neutral oak traveling barrel from The Bottlehouse, which recently made a dark sour ale at Noble Beast Brewing, we added a little bit of fresh French oak to impart structure and a bit of tannin. An expressive saison yeast adds bubblegum, pineapple, and orange peel aromas at a low level - the focus here is on the apple character. A boost of sweetness from the alcohol and the natural acidity of the apples combine to wrap up this special package. Chase down this Wild Heart, just remember, it can't be tamed. Show Less
