Specialty Cider and Perry · BJCP 2015 Cider
This is a cider style in which the juice is concentrated before fermentation either by freezing fruit before pressing or freezing juice and removing water. Fermentation stops or is arrested before reaching dryness. The character differs from Applewine in that the ice cider process increases not only sugar (hence alcohol) but acidity and all fruit flavor components proportionately. No additives are permitted in this style; in particular, sweeteners may not be used to increase gravity. This style originated in Quebec in the 1990s.
Varieties: Usually North American classic table fruit such as McIntosh or Cortland.
US: various from Eden Ice Cider Company and Champlain Orchards. Canada: Domaine Pinnacle, Les Vergers de la Colline, and Cidrerie St-Nicolas (Quebec)
