Celtic Marches

Celtic Marches Slack Alice is a quintessentially balanced English Cider, showcasing the heritage of Herefordshire’s homegrown cider apples. It opens with a mellow, well-rounded fruit profile that leans toward the medium-dry spectrum, avoiding cloying sweetness in favor of a moreish sharpness. The palate is defined by a smooth, mellow entry that transitions into a refreshing, very slight tart finish, reflecting a careful blend of bittersweet and bittersharp fruit. Its character is refined and approachable, offering a subtle tannic structure and a crisp acidity that provides significant drinkability while highlighting the depth of traditional English cider fruit.

Appearance. Presents a brilliant, pale gold to medium yellow hue. It maintains a still to very lightly sparkling appearance with no persistent head, typical of traditional cider styles, and displays excellent clarity.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of fresh cider apples with light earthy and floral undertones. Features a clean fermentation profile without significant sulfur or acetic notes, allowing the natural character of the Herefordshire fruit to remain primary.

Taste. Initial impression is of clean, crisp apple fruit followed by a medium-dry balance. The mid-palate is smooth and mellow, while the finish provides a light tartness and a pleasant sharpness. Minimal residual sweetness is present, balanced by a subtle tannic grip and bright malic acidity that lingers briefly on the tongue.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, almost creamy texture on the tongue. Carbonation is low to moderate, providing a gentle prickle rather than a sharp bite. Very low astringency and no perceived alcohol warmth.
