Hard Cider Review: The Saint from Crispin Cider

A few days ago, I happened to pick up a bottle of The Saint from the Crispin Cider company of Minneapolis, Minnesota. It comes in one of those large, two-pint bottles that's just perfect for sharing. Usually, I'll check reviews before trying something new ... especially when a bottle goes for more than eight bucks. I didn't this time. what the heck. The label promised crisp, all-natural cider with hints of real maple syrup and the Belgian Trappist Yeast that's a key ingredient in some of my very favorite ales. I took a gamble, and I'm glad I did. It was an absolute treat.
