Heck's Cider

Kingston Black

Medium Dry

Copper coloured

Strong fresh apple smell.

Heavy, strong bittersweet cider flavour with a good tang and a good solid dry aftertaste. 6.5 and feels like it. Good, but not a session cider. Decent example of single variety Kingston Black but there are better

Heck's Cider Kingston Black review

Vintage

Dry

Golden colour, very hazy and flat

Farmyard nose. Lots of farmyard.

Oh wow that is dry. Very astringent with lots of tannin. Fruit gets totally drowned out and just gives you a farmyard straw flavour. Strangely a little bit of vanilla as well. You do get some mouth wetness on the top of the tongue but the rest of the mouth is as dry as a dead dingo.

Not balanced enough for me I’m afraid and was a struggle to get through it because of the dryness.
