Cider Four

Aspall Crisp Draught Suffolk Cyder.

English; 5.5% alcohol content.

$7.99 (AUD); Vintage Cellars (Perth City, WA)

According to the back label of this longneck cider, Draught Suffolk Cyder (DSC) was, "created in 2003 to celebrate the Chevallier family's 275th year of cyder making in the parish of Aspall, Suffolk, England." Now with 282 years of "cyder" making under their collective belt, you would expect the Chevallier family to have created the perfect cider. The taste might be one of the more enjoyable that I have sampled with a good balance between sweetness and crispness, but there's still just something lacking because DSC is not very heavily carbonated. My wife adds, "it's a bit heavy."
