Thatchers Rascal is a classic English Cider defined by the robust character of Somerset bittersweet apples. Redstreak, Dabinett, and Tremlett's Bitter varieties deliver a sophisticated tannic structure and a medium-dry finish. On the nose, it offers a rich aroma of sun-ripened orchard fruit and earthy undertones. The palate is full-bodied for its strength, showcasing a balance between spicy apple skin, subtle woodiness, and a lingering, astringent grip. Its deep amber hue and soft effervescence make it a quintessential representation of the traditional West Country style, blending rustic complexity with a crisp, refreshing drinkability.
Appearance.Deep gold to amber color; brilliant clarity. Pours with a thin white head that dissipates rapidly to a fine ring; moderate effervescence.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity with a rich character of cooked apples and earthy orchard notes. Distinctive spicy and slightly smoky phenols typical of bittersweet fruit, with a clean fermentation profile and no sulfur.
Taste.Initial medium-dry sweetness followed by a robust, tannic structure. Rich flavors of ripe apple and spicy skin from the Redstreak and Dabinett varieties. High complexity with a balanced acidity and a firm, drying astringency. The finish is long and clean with lingering bittersweet fruit.
