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

500ml bottle from Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours slightly hazy yellow, big freshly-juiced apple aroma. Taste is quite vibrant & fruity for a ’farmhouse’ cider with furry yeast, bright apple taste and raw flesh tannins. Hugely drinkable and enjoyable cider.

500ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours cloudy yellow, spritzy carbonation. Vibrant apple juice aroma, beautiful crisp fruity taste, mushy apples and fresh juice with a tart tang and dry fuzzy finish. Another great cider to add to Perry’s arsenal.

500ml bottle as Perry’s Somerset Redstreak Cider, from Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. I really hope this is the right cider, as hard to recognise it from the comments below. Pours a clear gold, luscious overripe apple aroma. Taste is sweet, vibrant, fleshy, juicy and delicious with a tart tang and tongue-sucking finish, similar to Henney’s Medium. Refreshing and beautiful. Love it.

500ml bottle from Cotteridge Wines. Pours gold with a tannic aroma. First impressions is it’s pretty dry with some modest tannin action and a slight fruity character. Tremletts aren’t the easiest cider apples to work with but Perrys seems to have made something decent with this.

500ml bottle from Cotteridge Wines. Pours a cloudy yellow, very fresh cider apple aroma, brilliantly blended fruitiness with some slight woody notes alongside some fresh floral meadow. Slight dry bite on the finish. Great stuff.
