Sweet Tango

[Archer]

Anyone have any experience making hard cider with this type of apple? If so, how'd it turn out?

*just* SweeTango? No. In a blend, sure. Decent sugar source, like Honeycrisp. Not completely boring, but I find there are better, cheaper apples out there. Jonagolds are barely over half the price of Honeycrisp/SweeTango down here, just among the eaters.

If I had a cheap source I'd pair it with some good sharps and give it a shot again.

Probably to expensive to put into cider. They pay a yearly fee to the developers of the apple to have it on a farmers land. Good old lot 1819. In theory it should make a better juice than honey crisp.
