The fresh fruitiness of apples combines with the heavy citrus zest of elderflowers to give a unique aroma and warm caramel colour. We spike our base farmhouse cider with real elderflowers; their pungent astringency bestows a rich, complex flavour laced with fruit notes. Classic pear esters underpin subtle floral sweetness.

I kind of like this cider. The elderflower comes through very nicely especially in the aroma. Carbonation is slightly soft. Flavor is not too sweet not too dry you can taste the tea but it’s not overwhelming everything is actually fairly well-balanced. Quite drinkable and good.

Bottle @ Albion. Clear golden color, sweet taste, very strong floral aroma, very tasty but too strong on flavor.

Bottle, small stable bubbly head, clear deepish yellow color, aroma and flavor of apples and winey unoaked chardonnay notes and some flowers, a bit too sweet and heavy. Interesting
