A delicious, slightly sparkling cider, medium-dry with a crisp apple taste. 4% ABV. Made from apples and nothing else. Ashcombe has a long tradition of making cider. The last professional cider makers were the White family from the late 19th century up until the 1950’s. During World War 2 a soldier returned with White’s Ashcombe Cider for the officer’s mess. The ensuing party was so wild that Ashcombe Cider was officially ‘banned’ in perpetuity by the British Army. Ashcombe cider making was reborn in 2012 the White’s orchards restored and new facilities created. Please don’t tell the M.O.D. This award-winning organic cider is from hand-picked apples in orchards established by the Whites. They don’t over-process their cider so there may be a little sediment in the bottom of the bottle.

500ml bottle from Greendale Farm shop, Exeter. Slightly hazed golden colour, white foam head that quickly dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of apple, fruity. Taste is sweetish, apple, fleshy, fruity, with a stone fruit hint and citric acidity. Medium bodied, light carbonation, medium dry acidic finish. Quite drinkable
