Friday Night Tasting Lineup  

McKeown Cranberry Cider 

From McIntosh apples from McKeown orchards in Rougemont, Canada, and cranberries from Quebec. Great climate for fruity & flavorful ciders - hand-picked, then pressed & fermented, with about 20-30% cranberry added. Apples form the core of the fruit on the palate, and the cranberry tightens it up a bit and adds brighter acidity without getting tart.

Our Price: 10.57
