The Standard is the cider that Noble is known for. We use fresh-pressed apple juice from six different varieties of apples local to WNC. We ferment the juice to dry and add a touch of sweetness back in.
The result is a 7.5% ABV cider that’s crisp, tart, lightly effervescent, and just sweet enough for a balanced, long finish.
Noble Cider’s Standard Bearer is easy-drinking by itself or with a good meal. It’s the perfect cider for just about anything!
Naturally gluten-free. Noble Cider is a great alternative to beer when you want to throw one back with your buds. It’s perfect for anyone with gluten sensitivities.

Can from Cardinal Trading. Nose is apple, decent fruitiness, quite standard. Clear pale golden color with lace. Apple flavor seems to show added juice. lightly mineral, a bit rubbery, not much tartness or tannins. Nice enough but not so special.

Guest tap @ Lexington Brewery. Tulip pour. Gold, clear, bubbly nucleation. Looks as expected. Smell is minerally, yeasty & faintly melon-like. Taste is of melon, banana, plastic, saline, & spent apples. Fermented down to nothingness. Thin, sparkly, dry & faintly tart. Champagne yeast, not a fan.

Draft at Wedge during RBWG 2014 - Asheville. Pours very pale, clear yellow. Very sweet, a little syrupy, somewhat herbal. Medium bodied, fine. Sugary finish with ample ripe apple. Meh, fairly sugary overall without much depth.
