‘Slack Ma Girdle’ is one of our favourite Devon cider apples. Here it is blended with other varieties to create our driest cider, for the true aficionado. Ripe apple and refreshing citrus flavours lead to a satisfying bitterness and a long finish.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma of leathery apple, a bit of funk, citrus, vanilla and caramel. Good body and a nice tart sweetness to finish. Good.

Box @ The Orchard Box, Bristol. Pours clear gold. Aroma presents fresh ripened apple fruit. Taste is crisp, fresh with good moderately sweet apple fruit, light sour acidity, some pleasant citrussy moments with a good tannin grip and drying close. Good real cider.
