For a large-batch cider company, this Vermont maker sticks to its all-juice foundation, crafting a sweet, fruit-forward cider that offers a bit more complexity than its widely available competitors. Made by blending plenty of McIntosh with Northern Spy, Courtland, Ida Reds and other dessert apples, this deep gold, bubbly cider boasts a candy-apple sweetness balanced by racy acidity and a clean, semi-sweet finish. Sweet enough to serve with chocolate cake or caramel cheesecake.
