Description
We're a free-thinking craft cider company that doesn't like being constrained. In fact we only like making craft ciders as naturally and as simply as possible - using the very best fresh apples, small batch techniques, wild yeasts and 100% juice. The resulting ciders are full of depth, character and as near to perfection as we can get them

Bottle from Scrattings. Light hazy gold with a small bubbly white head at first. Aroma of apple skins and core, somewhat musky. Taste is fruitier and less dry than expected from the aroma. Apple juice and skins, vanilla, lovely floral notes, light muskiness, icing sugar, slight dry finish. Medium body and carbonation which works well. Very nice.

Bottle from Melbecks Garden Centre, Coleshill. My vintage bottle is 6.7% (Collectors Card No 5) which I assume is the same just a slight ABV reduction. Pours a clear gold, some small bubbly retention. Aroma of orchard, tart apples, oak, some funk, enough spice to clear a blocked nose. Taste is drying apple peel, fruity apple undertone, oak aging but with a decent level of sweetness to balance, some clove

Botttle from Berry, Grape & Grain. Golden body with a light haze. Steady carbonation. Aroma of crisp apple, lemon and oak. Flavour of dry crisp apple and a medium dry finish. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Bright and delicious. Almost as good as their Owl cider for me.
