September is Cider Season

/in

With September officially here, now is the perfect time of year to check out some of our ciders. Most of these are available year-round! We are so excited to have so many great options made here locally in Maine.

MAINE HARD CIDERS

  • Freedoms Edge – Original Cider
    Freedom’s Edge flagship blend. Our goal here was to balance tannic structure, bright acidity and beautiful aromatics. Achieved by blending tannic bittersweets with aromatic, acid forward desert fruit and back sweetening to dry/off-dry.
  • Freedoms Edge – Pied Pippin
    Made with whole fruit, just as the early summer tart from which it was inspired. Subtle but distinct rhubarb on the nose. Sweet strawberries balanced by the tart tang of rhubarb on the palate.
  • Freedoms Edge – The Juice
    Our interpretation of a modern American “Unfiltered” style. Local dessert fruit fermented clean and dry, then back-sweetened with our own cryo-concentrated cider. Fresh apple, honeycomb and slight vegetal notes on the nose and finish.
  • Norumbega – Berry Medley
    Accented with blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries which lend a familiar berry tartness, this cider has a clean fruit flavor and playful rose color.
  • Norumbega – Classic Dry
    A blend of Maine-grown dessert fruit, our flagship cider is light, crisp and dry not but too tart. Enjoy year-round.
  • Norumbega – Cyser
    A word that traditionally means ‘cider fermented with honey’ our Cyser [SIGH-zuhr] is just barely off-dry with a delicate honey nose and a slightly smooth honey palette. Enjoy year round.

REGIONAL & IMPORTED HARD CIDERS

  • ANXO – Cidre Blanc
    Flagship cider featuring Gold Rush apples sourced directly from farmers within 150 miles of ANXO. Sugar free, Gluten free and Low Carb.
  • ANXO – District Dry
    Blend of locally sourced heirloom apples sourced from farmers within 99 miles of ANXO. Sugar free, Gluten free and Low Carb.
  • Citizen Cider – Bakers Dozen
    Spiced with vanilla and cinnamon. Baker’s Dozen brings those classic donut spices to an off-dry fruit-forward cider.
  • Citizen Cider – Dirty Mayor
    We have a friend known about town as “The Mayor”. He enjoys his cider with a nip of ginger. In an effort to be diplomatic we crafted him and his fellow citizens this.
  • Citizen Cider – Unified Press
    A tribute to traditional American cider and the many good people that have contributed to making Citizen Cider possible. Semi-Dry.
  • Rekorderlig – Blood Orange, Mango Raspberry and Pear
    Made in Sweden with pure spring water and the spirit of Sweden: a modern, forward thinking nation with innovation and balance at its core.
  • Shacksbury – Yuzu Ginger
    An adventurous blend of cider, citrus and spice. Fresh and zesty with notes of wild honey. An unbelievable union best enjoyed outdoors.
  • Shacksbury – Arlo
    Our porron-worthy take on a Basque-style cider. Super dry and funky fresh. Sourcing European apples and blended with fruit sourced from New England.
  • Shacksbury – Vermonter
    Cider made with gin botanicals. Tastes of alpine meadows, spring wildflowers and the Green Mountains themselves. Homegrown but refined.
