ARDIEL APPLE DRY CIDER

Available at an LCBO near you! 

$3.75 - 473 ml - 5.5% alcohol

Cider, like art, has its periods of design. In the early days in Europe the more traditional cider styles were very dry, flat, and cask conditioned.  Ciders were full bodied, almost bitter and quite high in alcohol, some well over 7% alc./vol.  In today’s modern cider revolution, cider makers are experimenting with many different styles.  Some are clean, crisp, sparkling dry ciders similar to champagne while others are sweeter and lower in alcohol.
 
Ardiel APPLE Dry Cider is “Classic” in style with full bodied cider flavours and a vibrant crisp mid palate, finishing with a clean refreshingly dry finish. Considered very dry in comparison to most ciders with no sugar added, a small amount of fresh pressed apple juice is blended back after fermentation to balance out the tart acidity and enhance the flavours.

BIG JOHN HOP CIDER

$3.75 - 473 ml - 6.5% Alcohol

For decades, farmers have nicknamed their tractors.  At the Ardiel farm, Big John has been hauling apple bins since the early fifties. This hop cider is in recognition of Big John’s years of toil and dedicated service to the Ardiel family.

Big John Hop Cider is unique in style with attractive floral hop aromas; citrus and spice mid palate; ending with tangy tart cider notes. The hop flavours were induced by immersing select Ontario Hops (Cascade) from St Thomas for a period of time, just enough to add the complexity of hop flavours and aromatics and yet still maintain the core cider integrity.
