Description
Nestled between the North York Moors National Park and the Howardian Hills, Ampleforth Abbey could scarcely occupy a more serene and picturesque location.

It was sometime in the early 2000s that one member of the community had an idea to utilize the excess harvest by making cider. Initially a hobby, Ampleforth Abbey Drinks is now run by lay staff for the benefit of the community, supplying many local farmshops, visitors centres and pubs with our award-winning produce.

330ml bottle from Tesco - Deep red brown body, tan head... gone. Rather dull nose of coffee and cake fruits, bit of booze there. Flat mouthfeel, a bit syrupy at the end, more coffee and booze in the taste. Itโ€™s okay, but Iโ€™ve had much better Dubbels.
