The world of craft cider continues to flourish all around the world, especially in the Hudson Valley of New York known as the apple belt. Angry Orchard is one of the best known producers of cider, offering a range of products that covers everything from experimental to basic. Once again in 2018 their ciders garnered top marks with the Chairman’s Trophy winner, Iceman Hard Cider, scoring 96 Points, and it’s close runner up, The Muse Hard Cider with 95 Points. Both ciders also received Tried & True awards for their consistency in quality.

Angry Orchard Iceman Hard Cider

Orchard and barnyard aromatics drive the nose of this ice cider, with hints of dried apple and pomace. The palate is full-bodied and assuredly sweet, but far from cloying, with flavors reminiscent of ripe red apples drizzled in honey. Remarkably balanced for the style.

Angry Orchard The Muse Hard Cider

Rustic aromas of fresh picked golden apples, honey and barnyard set the stage for a palate that is bursting with vibrant carbonation. Ripe, full-bodied pome fruit sweetness and baking spice flavors are balanced by an underlying acidity that refreshes on the finish. Exceptionally delicious.
