Brew:  Henney’s Frome Valley Herefordshire Dry Cider

Brewery: Henney’s Cider

Style: Cider ABV 6%

Henney’s Dry Cider pours a crisp, striking shade of gold.  The nose beckons with the scent of apples and apple rind that makes the mouth water.  The taste is dry and pure, the apples are extremely flavorful and savory.  There is a pleasant tartness accompanying mild tannins, mild acidity, and a perfect level of carbonation. Background notes of honey are palatable as well as a hit of oak.  This is truly a cider that pleases the palate.  As I mentioned in my previous post, there is a cider revolution happening.  Interesting ciders that don’t rely on artificial sweetness are coming within reach and the brewers offering these interesting libations are becoming increasingly creative.  Henney’s is a great example of a perfect go-to expertly crafted dry cider that comes to us from Herefordshire (Worcester), England. The apples (locally grown English cider apples) contribute to a mind-numbingly refreshing flavor that has interesting depth.  If you haven’t, start drinking cider and accept no artificial overly sugared garbage.  If you’re looking for a place to start… or continue, reach for a Henney’s.

Seller Description: Sparkling. Henneys Dry Cider is our best selling cider. Smooth, light and refreshing.  Sweet, appley aroma. Palate has a delicious bittersweet apple character with some spicy bite and a bit of a tannic grip. Very fruity and quite pure, with a nice savoury twist.
