Cider Sampling

Every orchards cider is different .  North Star orchard is sweet but lacks complexity. I would not suppose this is a blend of more than 2 varieties. generally baking apples don't produce a good cider.Cider is generally made from dessert apples and crab apples in an 80/20 mix.

This tastes mostly like Jonathans to me but it could easily be Jonogolds or Jonomacs. Once blended with a little crab apple for extra tartness it's difficult to say for certain. I'm sure a brix measurement woudl help. But what's notably absent here is the astringent taste that you find in crappy commercial brands that shall today remain nameless.
