Greenwood Cider - Scrumpy (500 mL)
What is a Scrumpy Cider?
Scrumpy is a style of cider that originally was made in West Country, England, and traditionally was considered a "rough" cider - meaning less consideration was given for the apples blended into the cider, and that it was allowed to ferment to complete dryness. The result was a dry cider, often strong in tannins, and higher in alcohol - especially relative to the sweeter, low ABV ciders that were more commonly consumed at the time.
This Greenwood Scrumpy is very true to style and reminds us of many ciders we enjoyed during a vacation we took to West Country. Greenwood uses an unknown blend of end-of-the-season apples picked from an orchard in the Cascade foothills. This heirloom cider is dry, has robust tannins, and a bit earthy with a strong apple aroma.
About Greenwood Cider: Founded in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle in 2015, Greenwood Cider turn waste into resource by making cider from forgotten and foraged fruits picked from around the city and deep within the Pacific Northwest forest. That approach continues today. In addition to the more standard Washington apples, they use apples from local farms, small homesteads, and abandoned orchards. Greenwood Cider presses the fruit and crafts all of their small batch ciders in the Seattle city limits - which is unique compared to the larger brands that buy truckloads of juice and fruit purees to manufacture their ciders. It's an uncompromising blend of modern tastes and traditional cider-making. Their cider releases range from traditional ciders made with cider specific and heirloom apple varieties, to modern style ciders that are lower in complexity and flavored with other fruits and botanicals. They're one of a small number of cideries that make a wide range of many different cider styles very well.
