Description
Real cider and perry from the county of Herefordshire in England.
Oliver's make a selection of fine Herefordshire ciders and perries with an emphasis on "balance" and "character" coupled with "drinkability".
Based around the spontaneous ferment of selected varieties of cider apple and perry pear from fruit grown in Herefordshire and the surrounding 3 Counties orchards.
Nominally referred to as "minimal intervention", we strive to "take what the fruit gives", respecting the great heritage and traditions of the past but with an eye to innovating for the future. What that really means is we mill and press great fruit, expose the juice to marauding and hungry wild yeasts and then for our part blend and bottle the resulting ferments.

[i]Polypin at Merton Summer Beer Festival 6th July 2007 [/i] Ligtish in colour, pouring betwenna silver and a gold colour. Nice peary aroma, little bit of sweetness on the nose, sweetish in the taste but also nice fresh crisp bite, plenty of ripe pears in there.

[i] Bottle, picked up at Olivers, Ocle Pychard, Herefordshire[/i] Poured from a small 37.5cl corked bottle with a golden orange colour and pretty good clarity. This had a very smooth and sweet flavour the peary taste was there but in a much more mellow way than in some of the other single varietals.

Had this at the National Cheese Festival, Montpellier, Cheltenham, 30-09-06 from the CAMRA Cider and Perry stand. Very pale lemon coloured Perry, pears on the aroma and nice fruity pear taste, coming across as sweeter than the Orchards Blakeney Red that I’d had later and whilst very nice also less flavoursome.
