Chapel Sider Indy
Chapel Sider Indy presents a sophisticated profile defined by its 80% Dabinett base, which provides a structural backbone of well-behaved tannins. This English Cider is enlivened by a 20% inclusion of Crab apples, introducing a vibrant, wild youthful edge and sharp acidity. Bottle conditioning with 10g/l of molasses lends a subtle, earthy depth to the finish rather than overt sweetness. Expect a rustic yet refined sensory experience where the bittersweet character of the vintage apples meets a crisp, fermented fruit complexity. The result is a bold, high-ABV cider that balances rich fruit weight with a lingering, grippy tannic dryness.
Appearance. Deep gold to burnished amber; brilliant clarity unless sediment is disturbed; moderate carbonation with a fine-beaded effervescence that forms a brief white rim.
Aroma. High intensity of ripe, bittersweet apple skins and cooked fruit; distinct floral and sharp acidic notes from the crab apples; subtle earthy undertones and a hint of dark spice from the molasses conditioning; no diacetyl or unpleasant sulfur.
Taste. Initial impression is a balance of rich apple sweetness and sharp acidity; prominent Dabinett-derived tannins provide a firm, drying structure; the finish is bone-dry with a lingering 'wild' rustic edge and complex notes of dried fruit and faint molasses; no harsh alcohol presence despite the strength.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with significant mouth-coating tannins; moderate carbonation provides a lively tingle; noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth; moderate to high astringency that remains smooth rather than puckering.
