Presque Isle Farm Cider - Foxwhelp (750 mL)

Presque Isle Farm Cider's Foxwhelp is a single variety cider made 100% from Foxwhelp apples - the famed Bittersharp English cider apple variety. This batch from PIF Cider is from the 2024 fruit harvest season. The Foxwhelp apples were fermented using Saison yeast, which gives this cider some nice supporting floral notes. Aged in Calvados barrels before bottling. Tasting Notes: Dry and bold tannins and acid, this cider has an excellent Foxwhelp profile. Citrus test and pith plus apple skin notes rush the palate at first sip. Mellowed by a light creaminess and floral notes reminiscent of orange blossom. Saison yeast esters compliment the floral qualities very nicely. About PIF Cider: Presque Isle Farm (pronounced: Preh-sk Aisle) is a fantastic cidermaker from Northern Michigan.
