And now for something completely different. A single variety Handsome (Belle) Norman, made from just three trees. A historic old Herefordshire apple with brilliant flavours of raspberry and pineapple. This is a thirst-quenching drink that takes you on a journey through time to over a century ago, when perhaps this variety was far more widely grown and appreciated. Part of our mission is to bring it back.

500ml bottle from Cat in the Glass. Hazed pale golden colour, white foam head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of apple, fruit, flesh. Taste is tart, tangy, fleshy apple, with some zesty fruits, citric note, alittle funk and drying acidity. Medium bodied, light carbonation, dry acidic finish. Nicely drinkable.
