Description
The Anning's Fruit Cider story started in 2012 after a chance meeting between Tom Seward and Jim Mardell; fruit ciders were becoming popular and they thought they could improve on the sickly imports which dominated the market at the time. The Anning's range is made in Devon.

Bottle from Cherry Reds, Birmingham, consumed 12th March. After a number of pales ales I fancied a cider but had already had the Hogan's tap offering previously. This turned out to be a fairly basic cider with concentrate flavourings, very sweet and spritzy. Pear and peach comes through fine but in a sugary way. Some apple is detectable which is good. As a refreshing light bodied palate cleanser it worked well at first but does start to drag after a while.

Bottle from Ashby's Of Salcombe, Malborough. Almost clear, but a very pale green. A sweet cider, neither the pear or mint on their own come across too stated, but the combination is very flavoursome. The mint is best as a spicy-style aftertaste.

Bottle from Pennine Wine & Cheese Co, Hebden Bridge. Clear pink colour but despite this it's strawberry is about in equal measure to its lime in taste. The cider has a small sweetness.

500ml bottle from Mainsgill Farm Shop. Clear with just a tinge of yellow colour, white foam head that dissipates away and aroma of mint, apple & pear, sulphur hint. Taste is sweet, apple, pear, mint, sugary. Medium bodied, high carbonation, finish is very sweet. Too sweet for me.

Bottle from Sidmouth Wines, Sidmouth. This cider takes the peach side in terms of appearance, although very light coloured in this respect. The fusion of the two fruit extracts in this one proves sweet and tasty.

Aus der Flasche im Loch Ness Pub Berlin 2022-04 getrunken. Dieses blass grünliche Cider kommt spannenden Aromakombination von Birnen- und Kräuteraroma. Ein Minzaroma konnte ich nicht entdecken. Dieses Cider ist recht süß und so erinnert es mich an die Östereichische Limonade Almdudler.
