Doc’s Draft Hard Cassis Cider presents a vibrant, sensory-rich profile defined by the marriage of crisp New York state apples and earthy black currants. This Cider with Other Fruit leads with an intense burst of dark berry tartness and a deep, wine-like complexity. The inclusion of fresh black currants introduces a sophisticated tannic structure and a bold, brambly depth that complements the naturally bright, clean apple base. It offers a refreshing, tangy experience where the lusciousness of the fruit is balanced by a zesty acidity, resulting in a sophisticated and deeply flavorful craft cider with a lingering, authentic berry finish.
Appearance.Deep ruby to garnet red with purple highlights; brilliant clarity with fine, rising carbonation. A thin, pale pink head forms briefly but quickly dissipates to a light collar.
Aroma.High intensity of dark berry fruit; the black currants provide a distinctively earthy, floral, and slightly herbal cassis punch. Clean, fresh apple juice notes support the fruit without being overwhelmed. Neutral fermentation profile with no sulfur or funky phenols.
Taste.A sharp, tangy initial impression of black currants followed by a balanced semi-sweet apple foundation. The currant flavor is bold and authentic, providing a light tannic grip and high acidity that cuts through the sweetness. The finish is clean, moderately dry, and long, emphasizing the tart berry character.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that creates a sparkling, refreshing mouthfeel. Notable fruit-derived astringency from the currants provides structure. Very smooth with no perceived alcohol warmth.
