Mainiac Hard Cider: You should give our Mainiac Gold a try! Its made with Golden Delicious; as a result it is drier with higher levels of tannin and acid.

What the crap is up with NE cider makers? This swill is cloying. Visit Farnum Hill, friends. Take notes. (Also, please hire me.)

This is okay. Better than bad. But it's cloyingly sweet and lacks any tannin (or much acid) to balance it. Disappointing. Hire me to help!

The mosaic hops fit this really well. It's a light, tart, semidry cider with light bubbles. Drinkable without being simple or boring.

Bright, effervescent, fruity. Tastes Like I stirred a Pixie Stix into cider. Honey lends a floral finish.
Insipid.
