4/2009 J.K SCRUMPY FARMHOUSE ORGANIC HARD CIDER
This was a fun find --- a hard cider that is not treacly sweet. This USDA certified organic hard cider produced by Alamar Orchards of Flushing, Michigan. It was not cheap --- Whole Foods charged over $5 for a 22 ounce bottle. But, it was very pleasant --- mild apple flavor, a slightly creamy texture, and low on fizz. The name is also rather cute --- "scrumpy," as you may know, was a name given to cider a couple hundred years ago. And the J.K.? That stands for "Jim Koan," the head of Alamar Orchards, or as Koan jokes, "Jim and Karen, if you ask my wife." (Rating ****)
