Colorado Cider Company Newtown Pippin

Colorado Cider Company, started in Denver in the spring of 2011, was created to produce fresh hard cider for the discerning Colorado drinker. With a well-developed craft beer and spirits market and an educated populace, premium quality hard cider was missing from the local scene. They bottled their first batch of Glider Cider in April of 2011 and have not looked back since. The company recently created their pioneer series. In this series they will be doing single variety ciders with fresh, in season, apples. They decided to go with Newtown Pippin, or Pippin, as their first offering.
On to the Tasting Notes:
Upon initial pour the cider has a light golden hue with tiniest lingering white foam. The aromas of apple (almost that of Honeycrisp), tropical fruit, and pineapple attack the nose. The first sip brings a sensation of fresh apple, soft pineapple, and the slightest amount of pleasant sweetness to balance the cider perfectly. This is a well-crafted, easy drinking cider that displays the prominent characteristics of the single variety of apple, Newtown Pippin. The glass will be empty before you even realize it. It is just that clean, crisp, and delicious!
Food Pairing:
With the delicate and crisp nature of Colorado Cider Company’s Newtown Pippin a fun pairing route to go would be a nice assortment of cheeses. To get you started many drier styles pair beautifully with rich, buttery cheeses (think double-cream cheddar, a 2-year aged gouda or a creamy bleu), while the big apple flavors of semi-sweet ciders is gorgeous with fresh chevre or mild, nutty, soft-ripened cheeses. So go out there and grab a few different styles and have fun experiencing the art of Cheese and Cider pairing!
