Kingstone Press Cider

Brewed by Aston Manor
Style: Cider
Birmingham, England

66cl clear glass bottle, as pictured. Pours a deep, clear golden yellow with no head. Strong aroma of apples and vinegar. Active carbonation, ok mouth feel. Not too watery in texture. Taste is dry, yet fruity. Granny Smith-like apple flavour, enriched with some sugar (but not too much of it). Dry, then sweet and sour finish and after taste. This is actually a very refreshing cider, one of the best I’ve tried yet. It’s a bit weird the English treat this like a soft drink (I’ve seen bottles of 2 litres with 7.5 % abv), while this is in fact an alcoholic beverage for adults.

Dark yellow and clear. Has almost no head. Aroma: Fruit, apple, pear, yeasty too, notes of barnyard and mold. Flavor is lightly sweet and moderate acidic. Dry texture, lively carbonation.

A 0.5L bottle. Mild appley nose. Pale hey coloured. Mild slightly waterly taste. Slightly sour.

It has a very beautiful, warm orange color and the whit head is rapidly vanishing. The aroma has notes of apple and wood, it is very mild. The flavour has a light sweetness and a light apple-sourness. It has notes of apple and light wood and the finish is dry and astringent. It is refreshing and uncomplicated, not very strong in neither aroma nor flavour.
