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

Draught at Euston Tap East Lodge. It pours clear deep golden with a tiny white head. The aroma is earthy, musty, funky, barnyard, tangy apple, grape, must and hay. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, oily, juicy, fruity, soft berries, jammy almost, white grape, bit of tannin, earth and kick of booze with a slick finish. Medium body, flat and oily mouth - feel. Nice fruity farmyard cider. Quaffable.
