Square Mile Spur & Vine Hopped Apple Cider
Vital Statistics
Type: Cider
ABV: 6.7%
From the maker
Spur & Vine puts a Northewest twist on our classic American hard cider. Starting with the same apples and yeast as The Original, we added a generous amount of Galaxy hops during cold conditioning. Since no heat is applied to the hops, our cider takes on flavors and aromas of peach, melon and honeysuckle but none of the traditional hop bitterness. Spur & Vine is best served straight up to allow the complexities of this cider to shine.

I'm prepared now to say less sweet. The dial needs to be turned to less sweet. But still very nice for a cider.
Refreshingly unsweet. I should probably not have had this after the barrel aged stout for a proper tasting but who wants to be proper?
The hops add a really nice fragrance to this cider and the flavor really works, too. I wouldn't have thought it, but something about the bite actually makes the apple flavor more natural. I couldn't help feeling this needed just a tiny bit of adjustment on the sweetness dial -- not sure which way -- but it was nice.
