I love a good hard cider. Or rather, I really like the idea of hard cider. Most of the time I end up disappointed. I can't really explain it, except that when I order cider I'm just not satisfied. It's often too sweet and too thin. Like there's something missing. There are exceptions, actually pretty major ones, Dupont (See the post from AC last year comparing ciders) and our friends Paul and Fiona are fabulous cider-makers (retired?). I can also enjoy a cold Crispin on occasion- it's local after all, and Fox Barrel has an apricot-pear cider that's nice, but again, I find both too sweet to have more than just once in a while.
So I was really happy when I discovered Furthermore's Fallen Apple. It was last fall. By the time I made the discovery there were only a few left, when I asked about it I was told it was seasonal.
Sad.
I was delighted when I saw they brought it back this year. It's really good and I highly recommend you get some before it's gone. It's a creme ale (creamy, smooth, flavorful, not hoppy) brewed with apples. You get the density of a nice creamy fall beer with the sweetness of apples. Hurry up and buy some, because I'm not sharing mine!!
