Template:Cider Evaluation

Appearance

Asturians put great stock in the proper appearance and presentation of the cider. Perhaps more so than anywhere else I’ve ever drunk cider. For that reason, there is a well-developed vocabulary in Asturias for describing the visual aspects of sidra natural.

Color	( SRM)
Clarity
Espalme
Pegue

Mouthfeel

Mouthfeel refers to the physical sensations (as opposed to the aromas and flavors) of the cider. It refers to textures that touch the tongue, roof of the mouth, teeth, throat, and to some extent, the aftertaste sensations.

Body
Sensation
Finish
Balance

Aromas & Flavors

Sidra natural has a set of basic aromas and flavors that, to one degree or another, all examples exhibit. Here I rate the relative strength of those basic flavors, and afterwards discuss any additional flavor or aroma components that are noteworthy.

Alcohol
Apple Flavors
Acetic Flavors
Astringent Flavors

Template Data

This template is designed as a page part to display organoleptic information about a cider profiled on the Eating Asturias website. It is intended to work in conjunction with Template:Infobox Cider which should be called before it. That template provides a method to set the variables needed by this template. If you do not use that template, you will need to set all template parameters on your page before calling this template.
