What is a Hard Cider
The flavor of cider varies. Ciders can be classified from dry to sweet. Their appearance ranges from cloudy with sediment to completely clear, and their color ranges from light yellow through orange to brown. The variations in clarity and color are mostly due to filtering between pressing and fermentation. Some apple varieties will produce a clear cider without any filtration. Both sparkling and still ciders are made; the sparkling variety is the more common.
Modern, mass-produced ciders closely resemble sparkling wine in appearance. More traditional brands tend to be darker and cloudier. They are often stronger than the mass-produced varieties and taste more strongly of apples. Almost colorless "white cider" is produced on a large scale. It is typically strong (7-8% ABV) and inexpensive.

Our top seller is the Spire Pear produced in Olympia Washington. Gluten Free, and a nice change of pace drink we would strongly urge you to try one if you haven’t yet.
