Ostara: Lilac 30L Keg
Price includes HST. We do not charge keg deposits.
Plums and petals are two of our favourite things. Like all ingredients, both are fleeting: transient yet punctual in their annual rhythms.
Each version of Ostara takes 3 years to make.
This version is wild fermented cider (from 2022) aged on golden plums (from 2023) for 8 months, our microflora slowly chewing on the plum skins.
To it, we added a lavish amount of lilac flowers which we foraged in and around Guelph, just minuted from our cidery (in 2024).
Ostara Lilac is floral at first, with a soft, herbal sweetness that beautifully balances the blend. There's a gentle astringency, but we used fewer lilac stems this year for a richer petal expression.
