Description
Traditional real Sussex cider and vinegar made with enthusiasm in a sleepy East Sussex village called Framfield. Our ciders are still, unfiltered, unpasteurised and wild fermented in small batches. No fuss cider and vinegar made in a no fuss way. We leave it alone for months and months and let nature do its thing.

330ml bottle from Pilango. Pours clear pale yellow. Aroma bears light funk. Taste is, as the label suggests, a hodgpodge of apples donated to them, with no idea whatsoever of what its made from. Can't help thinking its a bit careless to make a cider in this way, though at least the apples go to some use. Taste is fruity enough, with an emerging woody bitterness, a touch dry lacking a fleshy presence, though still quite sweet. Not too great overall.
