J. K. Scrumpy's Solstice and Ace Pumpkin Cider (Review)

     I have waited all year for the return of  J. K. Scrumpy's Solstice Cider. J. K. Scrumpy's is simply pure cider deliciousness. This cider is sweet and rough, in a good way, with a slight maple syrup finish. Very crisp apples with a perfect blend of vanilla and cinnamon. It tastes like applesauce. It is also organic. Get it while you can. This cider should be available at most places in town that carry a large number of craft beers such as the Brown Derby International Wine Center, Hy Vee and some of the larger Brown Derby stores.
     The Ace Pumpkin Cider was also very interesting. I liked it, unlike the Woodchuck Pumpkin Cider, the Ace retained its cider-like qualities. In fact at the end of the day it was a cider. I still tasted a little bit of sourness (for lack of a better word to describe it) from the pumpkin. I do not think I would want to drink a whole lot of it, but it was good and worth trying out if you are feeling adventurous or disappointed that most of the pumpkin beers have disappeared for the year.
