Bulwark signature apple cider is made with freshly pressed Nova Scotia Annapolis Valley apples. Settlers first started growing apple varieties in the Valley in the early 1600s, and our cider’s unique character is a tribute to those 400 years of apple growing tradition. We use five varieties of apples, picked when in prime condition, to give perfect balance: apple blossom aromas, light, fruity flavours, and crisp finish with subtle, sweet undertones. Serve chilled.

Fresh, bright apple aroma, tart apple skins and fresh cut apple flesh. Crisp, clean mouth feel, very high carb. The finish is tart and clear and incredibly refreshing, a cider for unsweetened dry cider fans.

Bottle from the Grumpy Goat, Reading. Pale gold with a light fizz. Sharp and sweet eating apples. Light floral and vanilla hints. Oddly sharp for a cider, but it grew on me.

Kurzer süßlicher Beginn, was sich schnell zu einer deutlichen Säure wandelt. Süffig, angenehm herb, rund. Trockener Apfel, hell, lecker. 8/9/8/9/9/8
