Traditionally, before a cask was ’bunged down’, a live toad was added to ’work’ the cider, cleaning the brew as it passed through its body. When the cask was emptied, the toad was caught and kept for its next ’swim’. Amazingly cider toads could live for 20 years!

500ml bottle from Corks, Bristol (batch 2009/06). Slightly hazy, deep gold in colour with no carbonation. Aroma of fresh apple juice with a touch of sweetness and some barnyard funk in the background. Flavour has the same fruitiness, with the honey slightly evident too. The finish inclined toward dryness with a touch of whisky warmth, no doubt from the cask. Despite the lower ABV, this had all the character of a farmhouse cider. A good effort from a new producer.
