New York Cider Ithaca Sharp #2

Ithaca Sharp returns. Hugs, everyone: Thanks to your support, and an excellent 2018 harvest, New York Cider Company celebrates its first anniversary with the introduction of ITHACA SHARP #2. Like its predecessor––an homage to our hometown and the extraordinary wild and heirloom fruit here in apple country––the new Ithaca Sharp is dry, refreshingly tart, and full-bodied. (Salutes to Newtown Pippin, GoldRush, Northern Spy, Rhode Island Greening, and Golden Russet, among others.) Unlike its predecessor, this year’s blend enjoys strong forward tannins, no doubt from the bittersweet Chisel Jerseys we sourced and from a wild yellow bittersharp russet we foraged near our cidery. Enjoy cool.
