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 at home in Hackney - sourced via Ocado. Pours clear orange-gold with minimal head. Sweet, with moderately ripe apples, a little saltiness, soft musty dryness, a little acidity. Medium bodied, lightly chewy, soft spritzy carbonation. A little further musty dryness in the finish, ripened apples, red apple, some bitter peel. Not bad overall.

Bottle at home in Hackney - may have sourced from Ocado. Noted at 5.6% ABV. Pours clear honey-gold with a few bubbles. On the sweet side, with some ripening apples, some bitter peel, mild funk, grass, a slight artificial note. Light bodied with spritzy carbonation. Sweet, almost sugary finish but then quite dry, hinting at astringent, bitter in the aftertaste. A little odd. Doesn't come together that well.
