Cider has a wonderful balance of sweetness and acidity. It’s also naturally carbonated, making it an excellent warm weather refreshment. Perfect for backyard grilling and relaxing with friends, a cold glass of cider always tastes best outside on the patio.
Just like wine and beer, every cider has its own distinct taste profile. Sweet ciders, for example, are refreshing with a distinctly fruity character and a crisp finish. Dry ciders have a slightly more balanced and refreshing character, also with a crisp finish. They tend to be a bit more acidic as well.

The best way to determine which cider is for you is of course to sample a few different varieties. You can also learn a lot about the different cider Taste Profiles and which one you are most likely to enjoy, simply by taking our Cider Discovery Guide Quiz.
