Pale gold, bubbly, seriously dry. Richly aromatic, suggesting myriad fruits of the earth, and the earth itself, with a complex, palate-cleansing balance of fruitiness, astringency, and acid. Alcohol content 7.5% by volume. Full cork closure, 750 ml. bottle. Delicious with many foods, much as the driest champagne can be. Read Less

Pale gold, light, bubbly, with a stroke of sweetness along with the tart, bitter, and fruity elements that good hard cider offers. A clean, light "quaffing" cider, but don't put it away it too fast! Alcohol content 6.5% by volume. Available in 750 ml bottle with crown cap or 5-gallon keg. Our Farmhouse recalls the refreshing, low-alcohol "ciderkins" or "small ciders" of centuries past. Cooling in summer, warming in winter, and companionable with most foods. Read Less

Golden, bubbly, with subtle sweetness and more intensity and complexity than Farmhouse. Smells of a delicious array of fruits, with mysterious aromatic notes that defy words. Flavor offers a life-enhancing, appetite-sharpening balance of sweetness, acid, astringency, and fruitiness. Alcohol content 7.4% by volume. Available in 750 ml bottle with full cork closure.

Sparkling, clear, golden. Blended for potent fruit and acid, subdued tannins, somehow it offers a surprising and delightful suggestion of whisky sours with nothing like the alcoholic penalty. Alcohol content 7.5% by volume. 750 ml. bottle, mushroom cork closure (no corkscrew needed). Nice to get fun and information in the same bottle, yes? The fun is in the flavor, a little sweeter and more accessible than our regular styles, with keen acid and tons of fruit, plus a clean, food-enhancing finish. The information, familiar all over the cider-drinking world but generally forgotten here in the States, is that traditional fermented ciders make ideal hot-weather companions. Don't chill Summer Cider (or any FH bottle) very far down, you'll lose contact with its fullest flavor. Read Less

Golden, still, dry, redolent of muskmelon, orange peel, flowers, bittersweet apple, romance. Made from the temperamental Kingston Black apple, long treasured abroad as a single-variety cider fruit for its rare balance of tannin, sugar, and acid. Lovely on its own or as a flattering companion to food. Newly added to the wine lists of the following New York restaurants: Craft, Chanterelle, The Harrison, and Jean-Georges. PRODUCTION LIMITED TO 100 CASES. Read Less

This one is a blend of three late-season 2009 fermentations, and the last of our first fermentation of 2008. The 2008 portion contains a lot Somerset Redstreak, one of the fruitier, softer bittersweets. The rest of the blend is strong to Dabinett, Yarlington Mill, Esopus Spitzenberg, Golden Russet, and Wickson. Bright acid, soft tannins, and lots of nice peach, melon, citrus, tropics, and body. We’re pretty sure this is a good one. Read Less

This new Dooryard was blended from our new big batch base 1205, a tank-end of 1211, and a partial barrel of 1311, Wickson. This cider doesn’t color too far out of our usual Farnum Hill Ciders lines, compared to some previous Dooryard batches. The nose carries a fair bit of BSA, but has bright spots of sour cherry and pineapple. There is pear and a little whiskey in the nose, too. The taste starts with a burst of fruity sweetness, but the sweetness drops quickly behind the bright acid and the nice, woody, BSA bitter. Orange and tangerine join the fruits from the nose, with a tiny bit of red candy. The fruits in this one jostle for prominence; they take turns popping. The astringency is moderately low, the feel medium-full. The finish carries all of the fruits from the nose and taste, as well as a nice broad but mild bitter. The whiskey note remains. Dare I say this reminds me of a tropical drink made with whiskey? Cherry on top. Read Less

The nose on this is a little boozy and tart: lots of lime with peel, peach with pits, and a whisper of maple? Flavors loosely follow the nose: fairly bright acid just over broad bitterness, with grapefruit (& peel), cranberry, bittersweet apple, hints of wood, leather and plum, consistent through the finish. Moderately full and astringent in the mouth. Chilled, this one will push its acid further out in front of other flavors. Read Less
