How did this go!!?? How did they compare?
Call me biased, but I think mine did better than the entire flight we judged. There were so many berry ciders that were not balanced did not have any apple flavor or aroma. We had one cider with cinnamon that gushed and smelled like a bad fart.
The best one of the flight was a jalapeño cider which was done very well, nice balance, good apple flavor, and aroma, plus the subtle jalapeño heat later. I scored that one highest at 44.
I had some other judges try my 13 month old Apfelwein and everyone enjoyed it with two thumbs up. Of course we all sat through a cider judging workshop on Wednesday evening.
An Applewine did take the silver and bronze though. :rockin:
Some times it is the luck of the draw that you get judges with some experience in the category. Oh well, such is life. I'll keep trying though.
