Village Cider is a cornerstone of the Village Brewery lineup, representing Calgary’s take on the traditional English-style cider. While the brewery is famous for its "social" ales, this cider was crafted to provide a gluten-free, crisp alternative that doesn't compromise on complexity. It is a "dry-style" cider, meaning it avoids the cloying, sugary sweetness found in mass-market brands. It is designed to be the ultimate refreshment—clean, natural, and evocative of an autumn harvest in the orchard.
Beer Description
Village Cider pours a brilliant, pale straw-gold with crystal clarity and a lively, champagne-like effervescence that produces a fleeting white head.
Aroma: The nose is bright and exceptionally "green." It leads with a dominant scent of freshly pressed Granny Smith apples and tart skin, followed by a subtle, floral hint of apple blossoms. There is a faint, earthy sweetness in the background, but the overall impression is one of crisp, orchard-fresh fruit.
Palate: On the tongue, it is light-bodied with a sharp, tingly carbonation. It leads with a vibrant tartness and flavors of green apple, which is quickly balanced by a delicate, natural fruit sweetness. Unlike many commercial ciders, it has a distinct tannic dryness on the finish, leaving the palate feeling clean and refreshed rather than coated in sugar.
Profile: It sits at a sturdy 5.5% ABV and, being a cider, has 0 IBU (no hops). It is naturally gluten-free.
Technical Notes: Village Cider is crafted using a blend of 100% Yakima Valley apples. The juice is fermented using a specific cider yeast that preserves the primary fruit aromatics while fermenting the sugars to near-dryness. It is filtered for high clarity and carbonated to a "brut" level, mimicking the mouthfeel of a sparkling wine.
