Washington cider: Schilling Excelsior Imperial apple hard cider
8.5% alcohol
12 fl oz/375 ml can
This cider is so versatile! Drink it by itself or pair it with food. Schilling describes their Excelsior Imperial apple as semi-sweet and I agree. However, it offers a fun rollercoaster of sweet, then unexpected tart flavors. Way to keep things interesting!
