Common descriptors are Dark red, dense fleshed, with anise over-tones, Kingston Black is perhaps the most well known but least tasted English cider variety. It is frequently described, with the term ‘legendary’ usually tacked on, as the most wine-like of ciders. The aroma, the most intense we have encountered, gives credence to that claim. It is very full bodied, with a deep golden hue. This year’s was fermented with wild yeast, giving it an earthy character unusual in our ciders, then blended with thirty percent Golden Russet. |
