Exciting release news from Crispin Cider:
(Colfax, Calif. – Sept. 18, 2012/mbb/) – Crispin Cider Company is losing its inhibitions. The innovative hard cider maker proudly introduces Crispin Bare Naked and Fox Barrel Pear Naked.
“We wanted to explore creative ways of getting down to the true essence of our ciders, and we wanted to discover the core character of single-strength fermentation and then break loose with a secondary fermentation,” said Bruce Nissen; Head Cider-Maker, Crispin Cider Company.
Crispin Bare Naked and Fox Barrel Pear Naked, which are USDA Organic certified hard ciders utilizing a unique Double Fermentation process, will initially be piloted in Whole Foods stores.
The stripped down, “naked” cider series utilizes natural fermentation without chaptalization. Fermentation leverages the natural sugar levels inherent in the raw, unpasteurized, fresh-pressed American organic apple and pear juice using a novel “Forbidden Fruit” wit yeast. Following full fermentation, a second fermentation is initiated with the addition of new raw organic juice to the wine, and ferments again using a sparkling wine yeast.
The naked ciders are smoothed with pure organic apple or pear juice, and have no added sulfites, sugars, sorbate or benzoate preservatives.
Crispin Bare Naked – 6% ABV
Softly sparkling, dry but still approachable. Free-spirited and complex, without being complicated. A bright apple bouquet. A clean, stripped-down natural beauty.
Fox Barrel Pear Naked - 5.3% ABV
Natural pearfection. A loose-limbed, uninhibited, fresh and lively natural pear cider. Softly sparkling with an authentic pear natural nose, and an off-dry clean finish.
“These are real boundary-breaking ciders in terms of both cider making technique and conceptual thinking, and they’re very small-batch in terms of early season organic fruit supply, fermentation process and our own ability to learn and explore the cider-making art,” said Joe Heron, President & CEO, Crispin Cider Company. “Initially, there’s not a lot out there, but we hope to have more in the future.”
