Amoreena 7.1% ABV GF
As smooth and sweet as the name suggests, Amoreena is fermented with wild clover honey. Floral on the nose and buttery in taste, this cider would pair well with grilled salmon, sushi and jambalaya.
Iðunn 7.0% ABV GF Ⓥ
Named after the Norse goddess of apples and youth, the addition of organic lemon juice and ginger will give a kick to your vitality. Veggie stir fry or BBQ would be accentuated by this deliciously refreshing libation. Easily enjoyed whether you find yourself out on the water or settling in after a day on the slopes.
D.T.G Reserve 8.0% ABV GF Ⓥ
D.T.G. Reserve bears the name of the creator, owner and operator of Orchard Girls Cidery. Profound and complex, much like the man it is named after, extra care is taken to craft this “New World” style cider. Being made from 100% apples and put through multiple
fermentations, the champagne yeast is able to show its true colors as well as allowing the
apples to truly shine. Almost like it’s pretending to be a Sauvignon Blanc, the Reserve swirls
with fruitiness in great fervor.

My Sweet Annette 7.4% ABV GF
Semi-sweet and slightly tart, this cider recreates the flavor of those caramel apples on a stick we enjoyed as kids. A delightfully milky mouth feel is followed by a buttery-sweet finish. Annette is a great substitute for cordials and after dinner, for those with a bit of a sweet tooth, and compliments breakfast foods particularly well.
Chantico 6.9% ABV GF Ⓥ
Nothing says “tropical” like pineapples and mangos. Our nearly subarctic apples are married with these equatorial fruits making it those brief days of summer all year long. The aforementioned fruits are freshly chopped and fermented in small batches with a bit of jalapeno thrown in for good measure. One would be amiss to not see that burritos, tacos or any other “south of the border” fare would be absolutely fantastic with this cider.
Summer Seasonals
Kaleigh 6.9% ABV GF Ⓥ
Reminiscent of the luscious ambiance of late summer, this strawberry infused cider is perfect for a lazy afternoon. Local, succulent strawberries are fermented with our apples creating a sweet tasting, smooth cider.
Gabby 6.9% ABV GF Ⓥ
You’d never think that a vegetable would make a great cider but, if that vegetable is rhubarb, it does. The tartness mellows out during fermentation and finishes with a light pink hue. We’re fortunate to operate our cidery in the great community of Kingfield as the rhubarb came from a farm just down the street. This cider was named after a resident of the farm from which we acquired the veggie. Who just so happens to be a beautiful golden retriever. She’s a good girl.
Charlotte 6.9% ABV GF Ⓥ
Any random conversation about all of the great things Maine has to offer will eventually include blueberries. So not being ones to pass on a great thing, we take said blueberries and introduce them to the apples. What develops is an elegant cider with a deep purple complexion. Named after a lover of all things blue, pair with a charcuterie board with brie and, of course, blue cheese. Mint and lamb are also complemented by Charlotte.
Jeanette 7.1% ABV GF Ⓥ
The raspberry aroma eases through the glass as you go to take your first sip. A subtle sour zing follows. The apples and raspberries then take a ride together to round out this elegantly pink cider.
Autumn Seasonals
Pomona 7% ABV GF Ⓥ
Although pears may be a bit difficult to cultivate in this state, we have been able to find a good source from North Star Orchards, located in Madison. We let the pear do all the talking in this cider by keeping apples out of the equation. These pomes truly shine on their own with a vibrant color and passion fruit taste. This cider will accompany you through an evening with pork tenderloin, autumn salad and apple pie with vanilla ice cream.
Auntie Linda 6.9% ABV GF Ⓥ
The apple orchards of Western Maine synthesize with the cranberry bogs on the coast to create our Red Lady. Gorgeous in color and delightfully tart, this cider could be treated as a fine red wine. Think red meats and hummus when planning your meal.
Jon-Boy 7.1% ABV GF Ⓥ
When you hear “pumpkin” being associated with alcoholic beverages, it conjures up thoughts sugar and spice while also lacking in any actual pumpkin flavor. Jon-Boy is not one of those. Locally grown cooking pumpkins are dissected to the flesh and blended up to join the apples for fermentation. Once complete, you’re left with a sweet and floral nose. The body is light and crisp with a subtle earthiness that you’d expect to get from a proper pumpkin cider.
Aphrodite 6.8% ABV GF Ⓥ
