Standard Cider and Perry · BJCP 2015 Cider
English Cider includes the English “West Country” plus ciders inspired by that style. These ciders are made with bittersweet and bitter-sharp apple varieties cultivated specifically for cider making. English ciders are traditionally fermented and aged in wood barrels, which adds some character; however, the barrels used are rarely new, so there is no overt wood character. Generally dry, full-bodied, austere. Complex flavor profile, long finish.
