Description
Our mission is simple: Fly high and make the best cider we possibly can. You can find us in an old apple store on an orchard in Sussex.

All of the apples that go into our ciders have been rejected by supermarkets for not fitting their beauty standards. We’re not that shallow. We take these tasty fruits and help them reach their full potential in our delicious ciders.

330ml can from Cat in the Glass. Hazy golden colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of fruity apple. Taste is tangy, some tartness, apple, fruity, with some citric acidity and boozy notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry finish. Quite drinkable.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - burnt orange, almost lava like. Still and no head. Nose - red apple, like funky apple skin and a wild strawberry note. Taste - light strawberry leading into ripe red apple. Again, just an edge of funk. Palate - tangy in texture. Light to medium bodied. Dry and still. Overall - I like this.
