New Season Porker is a young medium cider naturally made using three varieties of apple grown within sight of Ely Cathedral. You can’t enjoy it like this for long - A fast fermentation captures the natural flavours and aromas of the fruit giving a fresh young appley cider. In the New Year, New Season Porker will change; we must then wait for the elusive malolactic fermentation in the Spring to give us Porker´s Snout, a more mature cider.

1.) Cask at the Drayman’s Son, Ely. Light yellow, midnight clear. Apple skin, sweat and plastic with a doughy quality. Odd but interesting. Can I smell angels’ tears? Bittersweet and sharp taste. Asserts itself very nicely. Body is thin but it works for this drink. Pretty good. [3.2] 2.) Cask at the Townhouse, Ely. Much mote cloudy, with a simpler appley scent. Taste is sour/sweet with a harsh tangy finish. Very nice. Almost a completely different cider. [3.4]

Cask at The Kingston Arms, Cambridge 15.02.12 Pours mid yellow slight haze tiny bit of white head at rim. Fruity, little bit of nail varnish, great appley tang, I guess that there are some dessert apples in here, drying towards the end, fresh and juicy with a nice clackiness to it. Like this.
