Hard Cider Review: J.K.'s Scrumpy Hard Cider

In my quest to become the ultimate cider conisseur, I have decided I need to start documenting my hard cider tastings. Today I stumbled upon a wide cider selection at Raley's and decided to buy three different ciders I'd never tasted. Tonight marks tasting #1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Full Name: J.K.'s Scrumpy Farmhouse Organic Hard Cider
Flavor: Orchard Gate Gold
Alcohol Content: 6.0%
Distributor: Almar Orchards, Flushing, MI, USA
Additional Notes: Certified USDA Organic
Paired With: Kraft Macaroni & Cheese :)

Taste from the bottle: Has a strong, bitter fermentation taste that leaves a tangy punch in your mouth. It settles down a bit after being opened for a while. But definitely a different taste than from a glass.

Taste from a glass: Definitely more of an apple taste than a fermented taste. Almost wouldn't be able to tell it was a hard cider if you didn't know.It loses the slightly bitter fermented taste that I sensed from the bottle. More mellow from a glass and increases over time.

Overall verdict: Would definitely drink again, BUT wouldn't get excited to see if for purchase over other ciders that are more crisp and tart.

365: I Always Get What I Want!!!

Today was a great day. Nothing huge and spectacular happened but I got to spend the whole day with my love and I got everything I wanted. Including these bad boys. Domino's has been hitting the adverts hard in regards to these. They totally worked. We picked some up while we were in Chico and we ate almost the whole bag before we could get home! I highly recommend them. Tasty and delicious!

Thanks to everyone who left me a message, called or texted. It was a lovely day!

And of course thanks to my wife who made the day extra special by spoiling me silly even though she's still coming out of the flu bug that's had a hold of her all week. I love you boogs!

365: Mmmm...edamame

Ange and I have been OBSESSED with edamame lately. It's super cheap, super healthy and super easy to make. Also? Fun to eat! (Even Sammy is obsessed! LOL!)
