WOLF IN THE WOODS | Canadian Invasion Series 9.9% ABV
Botanically infused with hops and grand fir needles, Wolf in the Woods is a cider with a timberland twist. This unique union creates a dry cider that leads with grapefruit aromas and finishes with hopped herbal notes

An off dry cider expressing the classic phenolic character of this coveted fruit

Juicy, expressive, and playful on the tongue, Pippins reveals why cider was North America’s favourite drink before prohibition
