Tonight's bottle is Crispin Hard Honey Crisp Apple Cider from the artisanal reserve series by Crispin. Highly enjoyable, the honey crisp flavor was not overpowering like a granny smith variety, too sweet like the typical 'ambers,' or too dry like some of the European varieties. 6% Alcohol by volume, it will not be knocking you off your feet in just one bottle, but there's enough kick there to not confuse it with fresh cider. The prickly carbonation balanced the apple flavor nicely, making it a palatable companion to a meaty dinner. Acquired the 22oz. bottle from the Perfect Pour in Columbia for $6.99...not sure if you can get it in 6-packs anywhere; there was nothing smaller than the 22oz. size on the shelf.
