Blu(i)sh

A wild apple & blueberry cider

blu(i)sh is a cider of foraged apples and wild blueberries from Maine,  co-fermented naturally and then aged in used oak barrels for eight months before bottling. Secondary fermentation occurs in bottle, which is what gives it a light effervescence.

This is a dry, precise, elegant cider.
