West Valley Cider

This husband and wife producer make really cool, really weird stuff. The quince in here makes this acid-bomb sparkle.. Serious horseradish notes. Worried for my tooth enamel though... — 8 years ago

Ginger Apple Cider 2013

Still showing very nicely in 2016.
It's a 10 for me, as is everything they do. Crisp, well-balanced, and as elegant as a 'flavored' cider gets.

Clos Normand

Brut French Fermented Cider

Santa Claud sings jazz to you in a small bar in Normandy, and you're cold but ruddy. Is this stand up or true mirth? It's the holiday you imagine in a bar near Skid Row in Downtown LA when you take a sip of this and are transported by a northern bite to your tongue. Irony or sincerity--it's so fresh but so sweet! I could go for more fizz, but one only feels permitted to request such things when engulfed by luxury — 8 years ago

J.K.'s Scrumpy Orchard Gate Gold Hard Cider

My favorite cider. A sweeter cider but well balanced and slightly spicy for an overall great flavor profile. Their Saskatoon cider is great if you are looking for something a little sweeter and more unusual. — 10 years ago

Valveran

20 Manzanas Frost Cider

Unlike ice cider or frost cider made in the United States and Canada, apples are frozen using refrigeration technology meaning the frost only goes one way--in. In nature, apples will freeze, thaw, freeze partially and unfreeze partially, moving sugars throughout the apples. You'll notice a difference in style here because the producer oxidizes the cider as a way to compensate for the artificial freezing process, but it's still a delightful dessert choice on a list. A rep told me to pour it over vanilla ice cream, but I'd rather just drink it straight. Notes of oak, caramel and baked fruit, it reminds me of a dreamy blend of sherry and Madeira. — 9 years ago
