SOUR CHERRY
FINNRIVER CIDER FAMILY | Sours
STYLE | Modern (Sour)
CIDERMAKER NOTES
Formerly known as Chimacum Kriek,
this cider is inspired by traditional lambic methods
and undergoes a complex fermentation with
Belgian-style ale yeast, Sherry yeast, two strains of
Brettanomyces, plus Lactobacillus and Pediococcus.
Local, community-harvested apples and organic
cherries are co-fermented yielding a fruit-forward
cider with ripe cherry aromas, and a striking deep
red hue. Aged 19 months in French and American
oak, it develops layered acidity, subtle funk, and
tasting depth. Dry.
SUGGESTED PAIRING
For a refreshing pairing, top 1.5 oz of Cachaça and
0.5 oz of fresh orange juice with our Sour Cherry
Cider in a Collins glass over ice.
APPLE VARIETIES
A local array of community-harvested apples from
the Pacific Northwest.
