In 2005, that irrepressible cider-making gene emerged once more. Robert Robinson decided to refurbish the 70 year old press the family held on to in 1959 and press apples to make cider for public consumption again after an absence from the market of almost 50 years.

Draught at the Prince of Wales, Ledbury. Mid- to dark gold and a little cloudy. No head. Slightly soured apple juice aroma. Lovely taste, sweet but with that tangy cider 'bite' about halfway through the sip. Light body with soft to medium carbonation. A good sessionable cider. Worth seeking out.
