Sensory Description:

The aroma leads with freshly cut ginger and lemon-like citrus zest over a clean foundation of crisp apple. The palate is tart and energetic, with brisk apple acidity carrying ginger spice across a lean, dry frame. Citrus peel brings additional lift, while the ginger builds gradually rather than overwhelming the fruit. The finish is clean and persistent, leaving fresh apple, citrus pith, and a warming ginger snap.

Producer’s Background:

St. Vrain Cidery was founded by Cindy and Dean Landi and opened its Longmont taproom in 2016 with the goal of celebrating cider made throughout Colorado. Alongside its own house production, the taproom offers a broad rotating selection of ciders from producers across the state, creating a space focused on discovery, education, and community. The cidery’s releases explore dry apple foundations with fruit, botanical, and spice additions, with Dry Ginger representing its bright and savory approach to flavored cider.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 5 to 7 degrees Celsius in a stemmed cider glass, tulip, or white-wine glass to highlight its ginger aromatics and crisp apple structure. Pair with sushi, grilled chicken, pork dumplings, Thai-inspired dishes, sharp cheddar, fried foods, or citrus-dressed salads. Its dry finish and ginger spice also make it a refreshing companion to moderately spicy cuisine.
