November 9, 2016 | Kole McRae | Leave a comment We absolutely love hiking the trails around Brickworks. They are beautiful and have the added bonus that once you are done your hike you can reward yourself with a drink! That’s how we first tried Ernest Cider. Ernest uses local apples (duh!) and a touch of local honey. Generally I find adding sweetener to a cider is a bit much but we shall see how it effects the overall flavour. Ernest Dry Cider comes to $3.25 and sits at 6.3% ABV. Here be the tasting notes: Appearance: Light straw. No head. Filtered. Aroma: Honey, brown sugar and melon. Taste: Balanced honey and a bit of smoke. Bit of tree bark but a punch of brown sugar. Aftertaste: Simple, short and dry. Overall: A wonderful dry Cider.
