Broadoak

This traditional English Cider from Somerset delivers a robust sensory experience centered on bittersweet apples. Broadoak Super Dry presents a bone-dry palate, defined by its rustic, earthy apple character and sharp malic acidity. The absence of malt and hops allows the fruit's natural tannins to dominate, providing a firm, astringent structure. Fermentation produces light leathery phenols and floral esters, characteristic of traditional West Country styles. At 6.8% ABV, a well-integrated warmth supports the lean body, culminating in a clean, puckering, and exceptionally long-lasting dry finish.

Appearance. Pale gold to deep straw (SRM 4-6). Brilliant clarity with a still or very lightly sparkling pour; no head formation or lacing is present.

Aroma. High intensity of bittersweet fermented apples. The nose is characterized by earthy, slightly leathery phenols and a sharp malic acid edge. There is no malt or hop aroma. Some light floral esters are present alongside rustic, skin-like apple notes.

Taste. Initial impression is sharp and bone dry. There is a complete lack of malt flavor or hop bitterness. The profile is dominated by tart apple juice, earthy complexity, and a strong tannic structure. The finish is remarkably dry and clean, with a lingering astringency typical of traditional West Country cidermaking.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slight viscosity from apple tannins. Carbonation is low to still. A noticeable alcohol warmth is present from the 6.8% ABV. Significant astringency leaves a parching sensation on the tongue.
