As the name suggests, this is Left Field Cider Company’s big, dry cider. In comparison to their Little Dry, which is, well, you know, lesser dry, the Big Dry, their driest cider, will appeal to those looking for a traditional English styled cider. Crisp, sharp and dry, with bittersweet apples, scented orchard blossom, a rasp of tannins and a juicy, refreshing finish. At 6.3 percent ABV, this will happily shoulder up to grilled pork, charcuterie and assorted cheeses.
The small batch, artisan cider company was officially launched in 2011 by Kate Garthwaite, prompted by three generations of farming genes and aided by her partners—her friends and family. Kate’s interest in cider led her to study and apprentice in the US and England, learning the craft through expert hands-on tutelage. All of Left Field’s ciders are made from blending English and French cider apples with local Okanagan varieties.
