🔴 - Sweet/Med Box
French Revelation - 4.8%
🟡🔴
📍 Warwickshire
👀 Amber and clear
👃🏻Strong tannins and apple, you can tell there’s going to be a hint of sweetness to the taste.
👅 A tannic bomb goes off, sparkling, honey rich and fruity.
ℹ Gluten Free, Vegan
North Hill Cider
Dry Hopped Cider - 6%
🟢🟡
📍North Yorkshire
👀 Cloudy pale yellow
👃🏻 Citrus and zesty
👅 Really didn’t know what to expect with this one! Dances on your tongue immediately, you get a citrus fruity kick that’s quickly followed by a powerful acidity that drys out with slight bitterness. The hops are there but not overpowering the drink. You are quickly ready to go back for more!
ℹ Vegan
Grey Heron - 5.5%
🟡🔴
📍Somerset
👀 Pale orange/yellow, with a interesting residue fog!
👃🏻 Light and refreshing tannin odour, reminiscent of a good session cider
👅 Sweet sharpness, carried by a light tannin body with a funky twist! You can tell this Dabinett delight is bottled young to preserve its natural sweetness
ℹ Vegan
Spiced Cider - 4%
🟢🟡🔴
📍Kent
👀 Bright clear orange
👃🏻 As the label says, spiced! And it is not subtle💥
👅 Certainly not a session cider, it’s still and packs a punch of seasonal spices which is perfect for the festive season this month. A medium-sweet apple flavour is still very much present but be prepared for that impact. Maybe this one will split the crowd? Probably best to have this at room temperature.
ℹ Gluten Free, Vegan
Original Ice Cyder Sparkling - 5.2%
📍 Cotswolds Orchards
🟢🟡🔴
This cider is where their cider making began! Using dessert apples and their cryo-extraction process.
👀 Pale and clear
👃🏻 Apples, citrus, lime
👅 Lightly sparkling, almost still. It’s sweet, smooth and velvety, almost like an apple purée with some tingling acidity.
ℹ Gluten Free, Vegan
Traditional Ice Cider is made by freezing the apple juice and removing the ice. The remaining concentrated juice is then fermented. It is very sweet, full-bodied and rich, almost syrup like. What Broadway Press have done is create an easy to drink cider.
Medium Cider - 5.4%
🟢🟡
📍Warwickshire
👀 Amber
👃🏻 Sharp acidic apple, light tannin
👅 This one took us on a journey, starting with richness and acidity, we’re then given apple sweetness with a slightly salty bridge into a tannin finish. We loved the complexity of this unique medium cider!
ℹ Gluten Free, Vegan
