Episode # 432: HVFC Northern Spy
Episode 432
Saturday, 10 January, 2026
The fourth of many from the New York State Cider Festival haul, Dan samples Hudson Valley Farmhouse Cider Northern Spy single varietal. Hudson Valley Farmhouse Cider Northern Spy STYLE: Cider – Traditional (single varietal)ABV: 6.5%AVAILABILITY: 12 oz bottlesStats above taken from the brewery’s bottle. Appearance Brilliant, clear, and golden, with some small bubble carbonation. Aroma Brush and tree bark/leaves in front of a rustic apple quality. Taste A bit of fruity apple juice sweetness, but finishes very dry with some earthy and sharp notes on the mid-palate. Mouthfeel Medium body with minimal carbonation and smooth mouthfeel. Overall I love Northern Spy-based ciders as well as getting to try single varietal ones in general. This is a treat on its own, but you can have this with a variety of lunch options (nothing too spicy), but I was feeling a grilled chicken sandwich with portobello mushrooms and roasted peppers. Cheers and remember: Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry. All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.Intro: “Meet Me At The Bar” by The Beer Drinking FoolsOuttro: “Bubblegum and Beer” by The Supersuckers The post Episode # 432: HVFC Northern Spy appeared first on Life On Tap.
