The Saint Hard Apple Cider
The Saint from The Crispin Cider Company is a hard apple cider that uses rack-aged apple wine fermented with Belgian Trappist beer yeast and finished with organic maple syrup. This process gives it sweet floral aromas with a yeasty herbal complexity and a full-bodied flavor. It’s filtered cold for crispness and is made with no sugar, colorants or benzoate preservatives. To ensure the taste profile, tilt and swirl to dispense the apple wine sediment evenly. www.CrispinOverIce.com.
