Characteristics

Speights Cider is a refreshing and well-balanced apple cider from the renowned Speights Brewery. Crafted with 100% New Zealand apples, this premium cider boasts a smooth and well-rounded flavor profile. The unique blend of yeast and malolactic bacteria used in the fermentation process gives Speights Cider a hint of sweetness, complemented by a crisp, apple-forward taste. The aroma is a delightful combination of fresh apples, subtle citrus, and a touch of honey, while the flavor profile showcases notes of green apples, ripe pear, and a subtle astringency from the apple skin tannins. With a medium-bodied, clean, and refreshing mouthfeel, and a 4.6% ABV, Speights Cider is a versatile choice that pairs well with a variety of dishes, from salads and seafood to grilled chicken and mild cheeses, as well as desserts like apple pie and fruit tarts.
