Stowe Mountain Glow

Mountain Glow by STOWE brings a taste of Vermont's pristine landscapes to your glass with its meticulously crafted cider. This cider's crisp and clean profile is reminiscent of a cool mountain breeze, offering a refreshing escape from the ordinary. The delicate balance is achieved through a unique blend of local hops, creating a nuanced flavor palette that speaks of its origins without overwhelming the palate. With an ABV of 5.2% and an IBU of 35, expect a gentle bitterness that complements its natural sweetness, making it a versatile choice for both cider aficionados and newcomers alike. Cider styles like Mountain Glow typically shine when served chilled, around 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, to enhance its crisp notes and invigorating aroma. To truly appreciate its flavor complexity, consider pouring it into a tulip glass, which helps concentrate the aromas while allowing the cider to breathe. This approach allows you to fully experience the subtle hints of fruit and hops that characterize this Vermont creation. When it comes to pairing, Mountain Glow's balanced profile makes it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes. Its crisp nature works well with the rich flavors of grilled bratwurst or pork tenderloin, while its gentle bitterness can cut through the creaminess of a soft cheese like Brie. For a lighter option, try it alongside a fresh apple and walnut salad, where the cider's own fruity notes can echo the flavors on the plate. Whether you're enjoying it with a meal or on its own, Mountain Glow offers a taste of Vermont's tranquil mountain vistas, one sip at a time.
