Stormalong Legendary Dry American Hard Cider

Stormalong Legendary Dry is a masterclass in dry hard cider craft. Inspired by New England’s rich apple traditions and the lore of Captain Stormalong, this flagship cider delivers elegant complexity and bold structure in every sip. A refined fusion of bittersweet and heirloom apples, including Ashmead’s Kernel, Esopus Spitzenburg, Wickson crab, Ashton Bitter, and more, is fermented to showcase crisp acidity, subtle fruit depth, and a clean, tannic finish.

Pours clear and golden with medium-to-light effervescence, it presents aromas of drying apple skin, faint oak, and whispers of citrus. The carbonation is lively yet gentle, evoking a champagne-like lift that enhances its dry personality. The first sip is refreshingly acidic and firm, transitioning into layers of bittersweet apple and underripe green fruit, woven with a touch of leather or woody spice. The finish is clean and brisk, leaving a lingering dryness that invites another sip.

At approximately 6.5% ABV, it carries enough body to feel substantial yet remains remarkably drinkable. It’s a cider with backbone, structured and bold, but never heavy or cloying.

The blend is thoughtfully assembled, drawing on cider apples from local orchards in Massachusetts, pressed and fermented with care and minimal intrusion. The result is a cider that reflects place and tradition and insists on authenticity: no concentrates, no artificial flavors, entirely gluten-free.

Legendary Dry pairs beautifully with robust cheeses, charcuterie, or grilled fare, cutting through richness with its acidity and cleansing the palate with crispness. It also stands proudly on its own, an ideal choice for moments when you want a cider that feels grown up, artisanal, and unapologetically dry.

From the first sparkling pour to the clean finish, Stormalong Legendary Dry delivers a bold expression of cider heritage, tailored for those who appreciate dryness, complexity, and heritage apple character in every can.
