Sidra Sin Alcohol
83/100
The short takeSharp apple gives this Asturian cider its sidra character. A high pour wakes it, and the glass stays light.
Tasted Karl HillHow we score
Serve Well chilled.
Who it’s for Anyone who wants the Asturian pour-from-height ritual without the alcohol — or a cider-bar bottle that is actually dealcoholized sidra, not apple soda.
In the glass
- Nose
- Fresh sour-apple and green-apple skin, clean rather than oxidized, with a faint cider-house funk that says fermented fruit, not cordial.
- Palate
- Dry and acid-led on entry; the apple stays tart and slightly bitter-edged from the cider varieties. Body is light — you feel the missing ethanol as lift rather than as hollowness — and a soft bead shows after a proper high pour.
- Finish
- Short-to-medium, citrusy and clean, the sour apple trailing off without syrup. The glass wants another pour more than a linger.

How cider-like is it?
Separate from the score. A convincing resemblance is not a higher rating.
Closer to Asturian sidra natural than to North American “nonalcoholic cider” juice bombs — the dealcoholization shows as lightness, not as fake sweetness.
The cider
Apple is the whole identity: tart, slightly bitter-edged from the cider varieties, and dry on entry rather than juice-sweet. Acid leads; sugar does not. Fresh sour-apple is the first thing in the glass, and it stays the main thing.
Lean and lively once aerated — thin without going watery, short sparkle rather than soft-drink fizz. Closer to Asturian sidra natural than to a North American nonalcoholic juice bomb: the lightness reads as lift, not fake sweetness. Well chilled; pour from height into a wide glass to wake the acid and bead. Sharp apple and acid land like sidra, not like juice. Dry, bright, light-bodied, soft bead — cider first, always. High pour, wide glass, sharp apple — the ritual still behaves like sidra.

Where sources disagree
Sources disagree on the following points.
- Method: Sidra Trabanco (producer) describes dealcoholization by physical evaporation with regulated, low-invasiveness heating. De Maison Selections (US importer) describes centrifuge dealcoholization after fermentation, then reintroduction of fine lees. We print both claims; method facet stays other until one process is confirmed on a current producer technical sheet in English.
