Description
Davy produced his first cider using skills he learned while making wine with his father, Jim, many years before. Two years later, his Strawberry Cider won the Gold Award at the National Irish Food Awards.

Davy has picked up a National Award every year for each style he has presented. He has now upscaled and moved his cidery to the heartland of Armagh – the Orchard County.

It is here that Tempted Cider was born.

Bottle at home, rain delay in the Ashes, picked up from either a beer store or a supermarket in the Newry area, 18/06/23. Clear golden copper with a fast collapsing white head formed of bubbles. Nose is crisp apple, sugars, straw, caramel. Taste comprises sugar coated apples, straw, tannins, sugars. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, semi drying close. Okay cider for a hot day ... sweet as stated but not OTT on that front, however on the uninspiring and pedestrian side of things.
