Isaac Cider

This traditional English Cider from West Dorset is defined by the robust character of Dabinett bittersweet apples. It presents a rich, full-bodied profile where the inherent tannins of the fruit take center stage, offering a complex sensory experience that balances depth with a refreshing, crisp edge. A subtle hint of acidity brightens the palate, while the authentic apple flavors lean into earthy and slightly spicy notes typical of bittersweet varieties. The result is a sophisticated cider with a soft astringency and a clean finish, delivering a multidimensional character that belies its approachable four percent strength.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (SRM 6–9); brilliant clarity with a fine, fast-dissipating white rim of bubbles; light carbonation trails.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of ripe apple and bittersweet fruit; distinct phenolic character featuring earthy, spicy, and slightly smoky notes; no detectable diacetyl or sulfur.

Taste. Initial impression of rich, bittersweet apple flesh followed by a significant tannic structure; moderate acidity balances the fruit weight; dry finish with a lingering, soft astringency and complex earthy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable textural grip from tannins; moderate carbonation; no perceived alcohol warmth; smooth but structured mouthfeel.
