Brickworks Batch:1904 Premium Dry

From Toronto, Batch:1904 is an off-dry cider, amber coloured with a nice dry-apple bouquet. A good apple flavour with a light astringency and a subtle tannic finish. 8/10

Thornbury Honeycrisp

Despite its name this is not an overly sweet cider. Though off-dry, a distinct astringency on the finish makes it seem drier. It has a light colour and bouquet with a medium-light taste. 8/10

Thornbury

From Thornbury, Ontario their cider is off-dry with a light apple bouquet and a light apple taste with a freshness and a subtle crispness. Slightly sweeter than I usually like but still quite good. 7.5/10

Thornbury Pear Apple

From Thornbury, Ontario this "perry" is made from apple cider to which apple and pear juice, and cane sugar have been added. It has a light pear bouquet and a medium-sweet pear taste. Most perries are sweet but this one is just okay being not as sweet as some I've tried. 6.5/10

Rice Lake Original Dry

Produced in Baltimore, Ontario (near Coburg), Rice Lake is a very dry cider that is quite different from most Ontario ciders I have tried. First it is cloudy almost like a scrumpy, has almost no bouquet, and an okay light astringency. It has a very light taste that is surprising given its 6.2% alcohol content. 6/10
(They also make a Slo-Hopped Dry Cider.)

Spirit Tree Draught

From Caledon, Ontario comes this aged off-dry cider. Spirit Tree refers to this cider as having "bold apple flavour followed by hints of honey and spice." I notice the spice but no so much the honey. They not that it is aged in their cellars, and it may be in casks because I notice woody flavour that adds astringency and, to me, is quite off-putting. 5/10

Loch Mór Sour Cherry

A new offering from the Loch Mór Cider Co of Hillier, Prince Edward County, Ontario. I usually avoid flavoured ciders, but I do like cherry and after really enjoying the Goldkehlchen Sauerkirsche in Austria I was willing to try another. Made with just apple cider and sour cherries this has an intense cherry flavour but as the name suggests, like the Goldkehlchen, is not sweet. 9/10
(They offer 10 other ciders, most available only on site. Located at 890 Danforth Rd, Hillier, ON)
