BlakStoc

BlakStoc Standard Hard Cider captures the essence of the Styrian orchard with a profile defined by 100% direct-pressed juice. This medium-dry cider presents a vibrant, orchard-fresh character, balancing the natural sweetness of the fruit against a crisp, refreshing acidity. The absence of concentrate ensures a nuanced and authentic apple expression, while its naturally cloudy state contributes to a rustic yet clean presentation. It is remarkably approachable at 4% ABV, offering a bright, effervescent experience that emphasizes pure fruit integrity and a snappy, thirst-quenching finish typical of high-quality Austrian cider-making traditions where the focus remains on the raw quality of the harvested fruit.

Appearance. Naturally cloudy (naturtrüb) with a pale straw to light gold hue. Head is minimal to non-existent, dissipating quickly to a faint ring of white bubbles; no lacing present.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of fresh-pressed apples. Clean fermentation profile without sulfur or phenolic yeast notes. Subtle floral highlights and a light, tart acidity suggestive of green apple skin.

Taste. Initial impression is of succulent, ripe apple flesh. Medium-dry balance where the natural fruit sugars are countered by a bright, clean acidity. No hop bitterness or significant tannin astringency; finishes crisp and refreshing with a lingering, clean apple aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation. Zero alcohol warmth. Smooth on the palate with a refreshing, slightly mouth-watering finish.
