Using the fresh pressed juice from apples picked locally, our master cider makers ferment with champagne yeast and mature the cider for up to 6 months, before cold-filtering to create a 5% medium dry cider that’s full of flavour and character.

Clear, light gold, with a small, quickly dissipating white head. Pleasant aroma, tart green apple and sun-warmed peel. Distinct apple flavour, semi-dry, tart green apple, slightly tart. Mild carbonation. A robust, easy-drinking cider.

Bottle at home picked up from Tesco supermarche. A crystal clear yellow coloured pour with greenish hues and a fading white fizz. Aroma is tangy green apple, woody pips, hints of brown sugars,. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, tangy green apple, clean, medium sweet, tangy crisp finish. Mild acid bite. Palate is semi sweet and tangy, mellow carbonation. Solid easy drinking cider. No wow or complexity.

Keg at Crown Inn, Marston Montgomery - clear yellow fizz with no head. Not much nose, but good tangy apple taste, solid drink. Shame about the brewery owner.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#63. A cider again, sparkling golden, healthy enough apple, a little mainstream in design and taste but fair, and sweet.

Bottle at home, from the local Co-Op, 31/08/24. Golden pour with a fast escaping white head. Nose is crisp apple, light sugars, straw, tannins. Taste comprises bitter sweet apple, light orchard wood, straw, sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Okay easy drinking affair ... not going to set anyones cider world alight!

Promotional sample at Bicester Avenue Garden Centre. A clear dark gold cider with a light fizz. Tastes of moderately sweet apple juice, not much else. Inoffensive but with little depth, clearly designed to appeal to the masses. Quite pleasant nevertheless, maybe a little syrup-y, but pretty drinkable. When the lady serving said it was created for Jeremy Clarkson's farm shop, I was quite glad I'd just had a free sample and not actually paid any cash for it!
