Westons Wyld Wood

Today's beer: Wyld Wood Classic Cider by Westons

So today is the last day of September and fall is definitely in the air. Most of the leaves have changed colours and many have fallen. While cider is generally thought of as a hot summer drink, it's origins are in fall. My local beer store just brought this cider in. It is a vegan/celiac friendly (has no gluten) drink. I have another cider in my fridge that has been in there for a while; I probably should try that one soon too.

Wyld Wood is described as a premium organic classic cider. It pours into the glass a brilliant golden yellow colour with no head. There is a slightly spicy smell to the cider with only a faint hint of apples. My first sip revealed an unusual apple taste. Not unusual in a bad way, but unusual as in I couldn't readily identify the apple. I'm no apple expert, but it was an apple taste I wasn't familiar with. There is also a faint hint of spices. What I didn't taste, was the alcohol, which at 6.5% could have been prominent, but fortunately wasn't. Wyld Wood has a low carbonation, wich is neither good nor bad. This is a very nice cider to drink on a cool day like today.

May your glass always be full of good beer!
