\n\"Wooden<\/a>Today\u2019s sampling comes from Pilot Mound<\/span><\/a>, MB\u2019s Wooden Gate Cider.<\/span><\/a><\/b> I don\u2019t typically review cider but I 100% know St\u00e9ph from Podcrastination<\/span><\/a><\/b> is laughing at me reviewing cider after me telling him for years that I\u2019ll never like cider in my entire life. Wellllllllllll<\/i>, Clint & Co over at Wooden Gate<\/a><\/b> are incredibly confident that I\u2019ll enjoy their product.. and they\u2019re right.. I\u2019ve enjoyed their product!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s sampling: Buck \u2019N\u2019 Fuggles Hops & Buckwheat Honey Cider – it\u2019s pretty much self-explanatory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The notes on the bottle state that the aromas will have citrus, vanilla & honey, while the tasting notes will be semi sweet, buckwheat honey and apple with a slight hop finish. 5.5% ABV<\/p>\n

Appearance:<\/b> The cider pours a mostly-clear apple juice kind of yellowish-dark golden colour with a faint cloudiness to it. There\u2019s a very faint amount of micro-carbonation in the body with a couple bubbles here and there for the head. Lastly, there\u2019s a bit of sediment at the bottom of the cider.<\/p>\n

Aroma:<\/b> The buckwheat honey aroma is the most dominating thing I\u2019m getting – it\u2019s decently sweet, a bit floral, a tad tart and has a decent apple sweetness to it. The hops are coming out with the honey, giving off that floral presence I just mentioned.<\/p>\n

Taste: <\/b>Fairly tart to start things off, coming off the apples. There\u2019s a sweet honey presence to it that gives off almost a mead-like presence to it. There\u2019s a good amount of floral notes to it that are attributed to the buckwheat honey, but as well the Fuggles hops used in the cider. Decently crisp, tart yet moderately smooth for me. The aftertaste is a hint of buckwheat, a tad floral hop presence, and a slight apple tartness at the end.<\/p>\n

Overall Thoughts:<\/b> I\u2019ll never be an expert of cider but it\u2019s solid – it\u2019s sweet, has a crisp apple presence to it, lots of honey, a tad floral and slight hint of hoppiness that compliments the fruit and honey. For the mead and cider lovers – they\u2019ll for sure enjoy this one.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
