Stonewell Dry Cider
Stonewell Cider

3.0 1 rating
5.5% Dry

A classic premium Irish cider that draws on the tannic bittersweet heritage of Dabinett & Michelin apple varieties grown in Laois and Waterford orchards. Crisp, puckering with a gentle astringency softened by the fresh eating apple juice used to back sweeten complete the cider; if your palate veers to the dry, this is the one for you.

The Michelin and Dabinett apple varieties are delivered into us in mid-October. Having been mechanically harvested they require a strong wash and vigilant sorting to ensure we secure a fresh juice of the best quality possible. We use a specific champagne yeast to ferment this juice with the aim of encouraging the best flavour characteristics to come to the fore during the fermentation process.

Welcome to Cider Nerd!

ci·der nerd
/ˈsīdər nərd/
noun
1. a single minded expert in the alcoholic drink made from fermented fruit

This is your one stop shop for hard cider ratings and reviews! Think of this as Yelp or IMDB, but dedicated to hard cider. Use that search bar up top to search for ciders by name, sweetness, ingredients or the cidery they come from.

This is a project of passion for me, and I will work to add new ciders and features continuously. Come back frequently to see what's been added and changed!

What sets us apart?

How sweet or dry a cider can be is only sometimes advertised on the bottle, and even when that is on the bottle it can be different than how an average cider drinker would perceive how sweet or dry that cider is. The perfect example is that many ciders are advertised as "semi-dry" when many people would describe them as "sweet". Here at Cider Nerd, we primarily show the average dryness/sweetness based on what our users have told us. This gives you a better idea of just how dry or sweet a cider will actually taste to you.
