Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of yellow and green apple, freshly peeled ginger, lemon pepper, and chamomile tea with a velvety, vibrant, spritzy, dry light-to-medium body and an engaging, medium-length finish with notes of apple and ginger, lime and white flowers, apple pie crust, and honeysuckle. A lovely common cider loaded with tart refreshing apple and ginger on the nose and palate; this belongs in an English public house.

Common Cider

Common ciders range in alcohol from 4-8% and typically feature dominant apple aromas and flavors. Most are not dry, but also not cloying, with a sweet, medium body and acidity. This style is what the majority of consumers associate with hard cider. The descriptor 'common' is in reference to the types of apples used to produce these ciders, rather than in reference to its quality of ready availability. Common ciders are produced from culinary table apples, typically including varietals such as Golden Delicious, Jonathan and Macintosh to name a few.
