Made from locally grown apples, Biddenden Ice Cider is an intense, sweet, complex Ice Cider bursting with aromas and reflecting the best characteristics from Kentish grown Egremont Russet and Bramley apples.
The apples are pressed on site at Biddenden and then cold settled for 24 hours, leaving a light straw-coloured liquor, which is then frozen. Once removed from the freezer, the juice is allowed to naturally defrost, and a process known as cryoconcentration occurs where the water separates from the natural sugars. The sugar liquor drains slowly from the tanks leaving the water behind, still frozen in suspense resulting in a high natural sugar content, concentrated aromas, and the enhancement of acidity and tannins.

2/1/2023. Bottle shared by danlo, cheers Ed. Pours clear pale gold with no head. Aroma of rich apple, dried fruits, touch of honey, vanilla, flowers, sugar syrup, citrus, lemon, cakey edge. Heavy sweetness, light tartness. Medium to full body, oily sticky mouthfeel, low carbonation. Light dryness with a little boozy burn. Great complexity.
