This traditional Irish cider captures the essence of classic bittersweet fruit, specifically Michelin and Dabinett varieties. It presents a sophisticated, dry profile that balances crisp acidity with a structured tannic backbone. The sensory experience is led by rich, earthy apple notes and a distinctively clean, refreshing finish that reveals a subtle, lingering hint of caramel. Its deep bronze appearance reflects its heritage, offering a complex alternative to mass-market ciders. The influence of Dabinett apples provides a robust body and a refined, slightly astringent mouthfeel that pairs exceptionally well with savory foods, particularly sharp cheeses and poultry.
Appearance.Deep bronze color with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderate, effervescent white head that dissipates quickly, characteristic of the style.
Aroma.High intensity of ripe and bittersweet apple character. Clean fermentation profile with earthy and slightly phenolic notes from the Dabinett skins. Very low esters and a subtle hint of caramelized sugar in the background.
Taste.The initial impression is crisp and decidedly dry. Dominant flavors of fresh apple and skins are supported by a firm tannic structure. Low bitterness derived from apple tannins rather than hops. The finish is clean and lingering with a faint, unique caramel aftertaste and no cloying sweetness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a refreshing, sharp carbonation. Noticeable but pleasant tannic astringency that dries the palate. Subtle alcohol warmth is well-integrated at this strength.
