Our good friend Mick Scrace bought an abandoned orchard of 3000 neglected trees by accident. Through battle with the undergrowth and thinning of dense tangled branches, this fabulous little corner of Sussex is fast coming back into production. His windfall cookers provide the acid tones to all our Eastern Counties style ciders. Blended here with Cox apples from Orchard Farm for a pleasingly smooth green appleyness, softened with mellow spice tones. Naturally clear, uncarbonated, unpasteurised, wild fermented and slow matured.

330ml bottle as part of a delivery from Scrattings, Wiveliscombe. Light gold and clear with no head. Apple aroma, some sharp notes funk notes, a little bit of naked booze. Sweet taste with a nice bit bit of sourness and a touch of an acidic vegetal note. Long sweet/sour finish with soft carbonation. It is a bit strange but moreish.
