Hamerstuk

This 2021 harvest Specialty Cider/Perry captures the rustic essence of the Lent landscape, blending unsprayed Appel and Peer into a sophisticated, farm-to-glass experience. The nose is greeted by a delicate interplay of orchard fruit and a refined woody depth from the Eik maturation. On the palate, the natural sweetness of the pear is balanced by the tart acidity of traditional apples, all supported by a gentle tannic structure from the wood. A festive, natural carbonation lifts the body, leading to a clean, lingering finish that reflects its artisanal, low-intervention origins.

Appearance. Bright gold to light amber; brilliant clarity with a fine, fast-rising bead of festive bubbles. Pours with a thin white head that settles quickly into a persistent ring.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Fresh, ripe pear and crisp apple aromas dominate, complemented by subtle vanilla and toasted wood notes from the Eik maturation. Clean fermentation profile with a light, earthy orchard character.

Taste. Initial impression of juicy pear sweetness followed by tart apple acidity. Mid-palate reveals a structured woody complexity from the oak, providing light tannins. Finishes off-dry and clean with a lingering orchard fruit aftertaste. No hop bitterness; low tannic bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a brisk, high carbonation that prickles the tongue. Subtle tannic astringency from the wood and fruit skins. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
