Starcut Ciders

This New World Cider presents an inviting sensory profile centered around its foundation of Greening and Jonathan apples. The nose is greeted by delicate aromas of fresh orchard fruit and subtle fermentation esters from the yeast. On the palate, Octorock delivers pronounced candied apple flavors supported by a generous, semi-sweet body that remains refreshing rather than cloying. The blend of tart Greening and aromatic Jonathan apples provides a balanced structure, leading to a remarkably clean finish that belies its initial sweetness. It is a light and approachable expression of modern American cidermaking, focusing on fruit purity and a high level of drinkability.

Appearance. Pale yellow to light gold in color (SRM 2–4). Brilliant clarity with no haze. Generally still or with a light bead of carbonation; any foam disappears instantly without lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity of fresh, culinary apple character. The Jonathan apples contribute floral and slightly vinous notes, while the yeast-derived esters are delicate and clean. No detectable alcohol, spice, or funky phenols.

Taste. Initial impression is of candied apple sweetness. The flavor is dominated by ripe, fleshy apple notes with a balanced acidity from the Greening apples. Minimal tannin presence. The finish is clean and sweet, though the acidity ensures a crisp, non-cloying aftertaste with no lingering bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly syrupy texture that is quickly cut by carbonation. Carbonation is moderate. No alcohol warmth or astringency present.
