A superbly sour cider smasher! Early season apples and locally sourced Gooseberry juices bring a zingy and tart punch to the party, backed up by smooth, vinous notes from the cider.

Draught at Newcastle Beer and Cider Festival 2025. Golden colour, bubbly white foam head and aroma of apple, gooseberry. Taste is sweet & tart, gooseberry, appley, with some acidity. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, sweet gooseberry finish. Quite drinkable
