" 27B. English Cider
This includes the English “West Country” plus ciders inspired by that style. These ciders are made with bittersweet and bitter-sharp apple varieties cultivated specifically for cider making.
Aroma/Flavor: No overt apple character, but various flavors and esters that suggest apples.
May have “smoky (bacon)” character from a combination of apple varieties and MLF . Some “Farmyard nose” may be present but must not dominate; mousiness is a serious fault. The common slight farmyard nose of an English West Country cider is the result of lactic acid bacteria, not a Brettanomyces"
