Description
Hare Moon cider is made from apples grown, pressed and bottled at Wigginton Farm, St. Martins. Varieties such as Dabinett, Harry Masters Jersey, Browns, Langworthy and Kingston Black and more recently, Yarlington Mill are grown on organic land, free of sprays and fertiliser. The brown hare, of which this cider is named, is resident in the orchard, enjoying the shelter and windfalls the apple trees provide.

500ml bottle from Appleyards, Shrewsbury. Pours clear bright red. Aroma of red berry ice pops. Taste is clean and light with a juicy sweet assorted red berry profile. Simplistic easy-drinking cider. Not harsh or overly sweet as some fruit ciders can be. Just nicely balanced and drinkable. Good stuff.

500ml bottle from Appleyards, Shrewsbury. Pours clear rusty copper. Aroma of sweet, juicy passionfruit and peach. Taste is exceptionally juicy with prominent peach notes, followed by sweet passionfruit. Clean, light, easy-drinking fruit cider with seemingly natural fruit additions, no chemical traces. Lacks coarse or tannic elements, and no apple notes to speak of, but quite refreshing and tasty overall.

14/5/2019. Bottle, sample, courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear dark gold with a short lasting bubbly white head. Aroma is of quite sweet apples, caramel, light brown sugar and a little leather. Medium plus sweetness, moderate tartness. Medium body, syrupy texture, average to soft carbonation. Sweet and quite luxurious finish, with some nice lingering bittersweet tartness, and not unlike an iced cider. Very good, enjoyed this one.
