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 at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 19 May 2023) Hazy pale yellow colour with no head. Fruity, slightly sourish nose with notes of apples, grass and citrus. Fruity, tart taste with citrus, apples, grass, hints of pear and a balanced acidity in a dry finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

Drunk at Bang in Belper. Pinkish dark gold, impenetrably murky with no head. Overripe orchard fruit, some US-sryle non-alcoholic apple cider. Tastes sweet, light notes of pear skin with light dryness on the finish. Sets my teeth on edge but in a good way! A decent drink if less aggressive than I'd have thought.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy red to orange. Thin white-pink head. Nose - mainly sweet grape notes, rather than the expected zest from the citrus. Also, red apple. Taste - juicy red apple, black cherry and red grape. Some lemon zest follows it in. Palate - close to medium bodied, sweet middle and fairly zesty finish. Overall - it's pleasant enough, even if a bit silly.
