Description
Good clean traditional farmhouse cider served from oak barrels.

It all started way back in 1977 when I made a chance remark to my Grandmother. I had been showing a keen interest in my Grandfather’s cider-making equipment which lay dormant at Stonehouse Farm in Kenn, North Somerset and mentioned that one day I would love to have a go at making some cider. My Grandmother’s response was to say “Well, all the cider making equipment is out in the shed. If you’d like to restore the old mill and press you’re welcome to have a go!” That really was the start of it.

[From a barrel at GBBF 2005] A hazy yellow cider with no head. The aroma is plainly sweet with notes of apples. The flavor though is very alcohol (inspite of the only 6% ABV) and quite acidic - it is so acidic, that it really draws some mouthwater. The flavor also contain subdued notes of apples.
