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.

500ml bottle. Slightly hazy golden colour, no head and spiced juicy apple aroma. Taste is juicy apple, sweet, fruity, spiced hints with some cardboardy oxidised notes. Medium bodied, low carbination, sweetish finish. OK.

500ml bottle from Favourite Beers, Cheltenham. Pours misty gold, flat. Aroma has wild flora, apple pulp. Light, juicy on the palate. Organic, wild character, nettley bitterness, natural drying apple fruit, subtle tannin and modest acidity. No brett notes. Decent wild fermented cider.

Box @ Favourite Beers, Cheltenham. Pours hazed purple, generally clean on the palate. Exceptionally fruity, good blackcurrant presence underpinned by some soft tannin. Not too bad.

On handpull at Fuggles Beer Cafe Tunbridge Wells. 4.0% blackcurrant lemonade style still cider. Hazy red pink colour no head. Blackcurrant aroma. A mix of sweet ribena and sour apple juice in mouth. Sweet finish coats the teeth in sugar. Too sour and too sweet.

19/8/2018. From bag in box at Seven Seasons, Hoxton. Pours cloudy orange gold with no head. Aroma of mango and apples, with a background of raisin bread. Moderate sweetness, tangy bitterness and light tartness from unripened mango. Medium body, oily texture, still carbonation. Grower.

Cask handpull at Fuggles Beer Cafe Tonbridge. Hazy orange gold colour no head. Light cheese on aroma. Good character of apple juice in the mouth. Pretty much a dry finish. A pretty good straight up Dabinett. Some sweetness in the mouth. But definitely a dry finish. Good enough.

Cask handpull at the Cock Tavern - Hackney. Pours unclear gold with no head. Sugary apple aroma, a little artificial, some green apple skin. Medium to big sweet flavour with semi-ripe, well sugary apple character, mi imal bittwrness, faint alcohol. Medium bodied, lightly oily, with soft carbonation. Subtly tangy to finish, with further sweet apple character. Pretty basic, but drinkable.

Cask handpull at Fuggles Beer Cafe Tonbridge. Hazy pear gold orange colour no head. Quite a dry cider. Light vanilla light biscuit. The apple flavour is excellent. Some tannin which is light. Dry finish. Not sure what apple varities are in this but it has a good seeet and dry balance. Good. Rounded.

330ml can. Pale straw colour with a slight haze, thin white head for a short time. Fermented apple aroma, tannin, some fresh apple juice. Taste is rather sweet, but not cloying, says on the can fresh apple juice is added and I get that more so than the aroma gives away, in fact this almost tastes like fizzy apple juice rather than a cider. Sparkling carbonation, light body. Very nice, easy drinking and refreshing.
