About This Beer

Winchester Ciderworks specializes in English pub-style Ciders, and 522 Blackcurrant is one of their most popular mainstays. The Cider masters craft it with their trademark Shenandoah Valley apples and additions of jammy-juicy blackcurrants!

Tasting Notes

This ruby-hued Cider boasts a delectable off-dry body and passionfruit-like berry tang (from the blackcurrant additions). While it’s a sessionable quencher on its own, 522 also goes great with meat pies, fish and chips, or just about any pub fare.

16oz can from Tavour. Ruby colored pour, flat. Fruity aroma of apples and blackcurrant. Currant a bit more prominent in the taste, still sweet, apple notes throughout.

This cider just wasn’t for me. It just tasted like a regular cider with not much extra going for it.

Purchased this 2 pack as my first selection on Tavour. It did not disappoint. A great balance of sweet and sour, and didn’t taste overworked. My wife is the cider expert, and she gave a 2 thumbs up!

Aroma of apple cider with a hint of berries. Tart apples and black currants in the taste. Some cherry and grape notes. A touch of sweetness. Finishes slightly dry.
