242: Selecting Cider

Tips on "SelectIng Your Perfect Cider"

With so many choices on the shelf, purchasing cider can begin to feel daunting! This episode will provide tips to help you make that choice when faced with a wide range of cider styles.

Here are the key tips to consider when - Purchasing Cider

Look for:

Cider made from 100% apples.
- Look for single varietal ciders to begin honing in on the wide variation of one cider to another
- Stay away from the fruit and hopped cider until you have a sound idea of what a dry cider to semi sweet cider presents
Look for a Dry Scale
- Look for the horizontal graph below on most of all New York ciders

Color - the range can be from light straw to deep amber. There are redflesh apples like Redfield, which will lend a red hue like a Rosè.
Cans or Bottles - what really matters is the cider within.
- Cans have become increasingly popular with even some high end cider finding their way into cans. Plus they are better for the environment, because they are easier to recycle than glass, weigh less than glass thus decreasing shipping cost and are more compact to pack.
- bottles are nice objects with long stems, often cork and cage which offer up a "Pop" when opened. For a date night, it is always bottle 100%!
