Cider maker Tariq Ahmed stumbled on this “mutant” Ontario-grown hop variety from Clear Valley Hops and he hasn’t looked back, creating this feral cider that is the wild beast of the cider world at the moment. Wow, what a nose of bright apple, funky hop notes, yeast, brioche, lanolin, fresh-cut hay and underlying Mandarin orange and lychee aromas. It has delicious baked apple flavours, slight effervescence, dry hops and a pinch of astringency on the finish.
