CIDER MENU

Our ciders are made exclusively from the apples we grow at Storum Ranch. We have 2500 trees in 60 different varieties, and we hand-pick the fruit only when it is ripe. Our ciders are all traditional style ciders, fermented to dry and never any sugar added.

 
 
 

ON TAP

VOLCAN MOUNTAIN BLEND
2021 harvest | tank fermented with wild yeast | 7% ABV
A blend of 50% Newtown Pippin, 30% Fuji and 20% Granny Smith apples.  It has a delightful light taste with a nose of fully ripe cantaloupe up front and a smooth, slightly tart finish.

HARRISON CIDERKIN
2023 harvest | wild yeast fermentation | 6% ABV
Ciderkin is a lighter cider made from the second pressing of the apples. This makes it delightful for easy summer sipping. It is bright with good apple flavor and a touch of cinnamon on the nose.

WINESAP & JONATHAN
2023 harvest | wild yeast fermentation | 8% ABV
A blend of 60% Winesap and 40% Jonathan apples. This clean, light cider has a bright apple nose with just a hint of baking spices, and its flavors move pleasantly along the palate for a medium-long, smooth finish.

KING DAVID
2023 harvest | wild yeast fermentation | 9.5 % ABV
A North American apple, the King David is believed to be a cross between the Jonathan and either the Winesap or Arkansas Black. This cider is pale straw in color with excellent clarity. It has a mellow flavor and a very light acid finish across the palate with a clean, apple finish.

FOUR GOLDEN BLEND
2020 harvest | tank fermented with wild yeast | 11% ABV
An earthy blend of four gold apple varieties: 35% Golden Delicious, 30% Golden Russet, 25% GoldRush and 10% Hudson Golden Gem. This is a hearty, low acid cider with a good tannic base and a lovely floral overtone.

GOLDRUSH
2020 harvest | tank fermented with wild yeast | 9.5% ABV
The GoldRush is a modern dual-purpose apple developed at Purdue University in the 1970s with flavor reminiscent of a ripe Golden Delicious but with more acidity. This cider has a beautiful golden color and is tannic yet fruity with notes of apple peel.

BOTTLED CIDERS

HEWE’S CRAB
2023 harvest | 9.8% ABV

Our 2023 harvest was exceptionally bountiful, and this cider is made entirely from the crop our 140 Hewe’s Crabapple trees produced. This cider has a beautiful, clear golden color with medium body and very soft acid. It has mild tannins and is nicely refreshing with a light fruity citrus finish. We recommend serving lightly chilled.

BITTER WICKSON BLEND
2023 harvest | 9.5% ABV
We used 55% Wickson along with a blend of several bittersharp and bittersweet apples varieties, including Dabinett, to produce this gorgeous, pale gold cider. Allow this cider to come to room temperature for its flavors and aromas to fully open. It has light acid and a delicate body that is round and soft on the palate with a note of butterscotch and cinnamon and a mellow, melon finish. Try pairing with seared scallops. We recommend serving near room temperature.

REDFIELD-DABINETT
2023 harvest | 8.2% ABV
We blended 70% Redfield and 30% Dabinett to create this clean, easy drinking cider. The Dabinett is renowned for high quality bittersweet juice, and the beautiful red flesh of the Redfield imparts a rosy hue. The result is a clean, easy drinking still cider. Pleasantly tart up front, but finishes with a light, creamy body that hints at cherry and vanilla. We recommend serving lightly chilled.
