Well it has finally arrived. Not only is summer here, but the beverage festivals begin. I am going to be a busy boy for the next few months. And first up on our list is the Ontario Craft Cider Week, sponsored by the Ontario Craft Cider Association (check them out... give them some love). Our first offering is a first for the blog. It is actually brewed at a winery. And a special winery to boot. Coffin Ridge is located in Annan Ontario. which is in between Meaford and Owen Sound and boasts some of the most northerly vineyards in Ontario. It is also the heart of Ontario apple country, which goes to explain the cider, and why we are here today. Coffin Ridge is a member of the Ontario Craft Cider Association and therefore the perfect beverage to kick off Cider Week.
Enough small talk... Let's PRESS on (get it? Cider Press?)

Clear gold in colour with hints of green. Slight skiff of a carbonated head that disappears quite quickly. Aroma is apple pie, bready, with cinnamon and cloves, some citrus and a hint of ginger. Quite tart, yet with a smooth finish, very crisp dry and clean. Lingering taste of slightly green wild apples.Aeration gives us lots of bright lemon and tart green apples
Impressions: Fail, So-so, Pass, Exceptional
Cost: 5/6 PASS
Colour: 5/6 PASS
Cider Style: 6/6 EXCEPTIONAL
Re-Order: 6/6 EXCEPTIONAL
Experience: 6/6 EXCEPTIONAL
Final Thoughts:
This is what dry cider should taste like: Crisp, tart, full of good apple flavour... and grown in our backyards. This is a cider made by a winemaker and it shows. It is gentle and well balanced and drinks like a crisp summer white. This is an absolute must try and a great way to kick off Cider Week.
Cheers
