Angry Orchard launched Understood in Motion 03, a new collaboration cider created with distinguished U.K. Cider Maker Tom Oliver of Oliver’s Cider & Perry.
This collaboration showcases an unconventional approach to the creation of cider, made with two distinct wild-fermented juices from rare apples that through blending would become one complex style. Understood in Motion 03 is the third cider in the Understood in Motion series, named for the motion of apple harvest and the cider making process, and is now available for purchase at the Angry Orchard in Walden, N.Y.
Understood in Motion 03 started over two years ago, as two different natural ciders fermented with wild yeast. The Dabinett apple was the principle apple variety used in this collaboration, an 18th century English bittersweet apple that is favored for its reliability to yield fruit annually and is now grown in the United States. The result, a still, tannic, dry, wild and funky cider that pairs well with a hearty meal enjoyed with friends.
