Real Cider Tasting Notes | September Box

1. This Month’s TOP PICK – Kentish Pip – Skylark 5.6%
   
   

Skylark is a next generation sparkling cider, popping with big notes of fresh Kentish dessert apples, followed by a flourish of complex cider tannins. Slow fermentation of this special blend of dessert and cider varieties, creates a medium dry, deeply refreshing cider for people who expect nothing but the best.

2. Fowey Valley  – Castledor Cider –  6.5% ABV
   
   

This ciders name ‘Castledore’ is taken from the iron age fort Castle Dore which stands just a few hundred meters from the Fowey Valley orchard.  Expect a wonderfully refreshing, medium dry, lightly carbonated cider. It is very clean on the palate, well balanced and the beautiful golden blush colour is completely natural.

3. Perry’s Cider – Morgan Sweet 6% ABV

   

The Morgan Sweet is a pure sweet apple which ferments rapidly making it the first cider of the season. It produces a naturally sweet sparkling cider with a strong persistently fruity flavour. Serve chilled and enjoy with good food or simply by itself.

4. Pearson’s Cider – Dry Cider 6.7% ABV
   
   

Pearson’s Dry Cider is a clear, lightly sparkling real cider. It gets its distinctive ‘bite’ from the Redstreaks, while the vintage quality of Harry Master’s & Yarlington Mill give it a rounded, well balanced finish.

5. The Special Cider Company – Cider House Special  7.3 % ABV
   
   

This little beauty certainly packs a punch. Although its 7.3% ABV it’s a smooth tasting sweet cider that is full of flavour. It’s nice and easy on the pallet so a perfect accompaniment to food.

6. Tutts Clump – Traditional Farm House – 6% ABV
   
   

An award-winning medium real cider that’s a blend of cooking and crab apples. This crisp refreshing eastern counties style cider is a traditionalists dream.

7. Perry’s Cider – Dabinett 6 % ABV
   
   

Fermented using wild yeast’ to keep the fermentation slow and cold. Perrys have produced a well-balanced medium to sweet cider with soft astringency and a full-bodied flavour. This real cider is lightly sparkling to lift the full apple flavour and aroma.

This is certainly a special cider as it suggests. It’s dry, traditional and masterfully made real cider.
