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.

Cask handpull at Fuggles Cafe Tonbridge. Ruby red colour thin pink head. Blueberry and apple aroma .Definitely blueberry flavour in the mouth and sweet eating apples flavour. Some interesting finish. It's got some interest but mostly sweet fruit. Good thing it's light in abv. Too sweet overall.

Taster from my Mrs' half which originated in a bag in box at Cobbett's, Dorking. Aroma is sweet and fruity but nondescript. Opaque gols. No head. Sweet. Combines sweet apple with sweet pineapple. More peripheral lemon. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. OK.
