Cider Tasting

Cider tasting involves evaluating the flavor, aroma, appearance, and mouthfeel of different ciders, much like wine tasting. Participants often examine the cider’s color, inhale its aroma for fruity, floral, or spicy aromas, and then take small sips to assess its sweetness, acidity, tannins, carbonation, and overall balance. The goal is to appreciate the cider’s unique characteristics and craftsmanship. Tasting can reveal complexity and layers of flavor, helping enthusiasts and producers understand the quality and style of each cider. It’s an educational and sensory experience that enhances appreciation for this fermented apple or pear beverage.
