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.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden, London, 1 June 2025) Golden colour with brief foamy head. Fruity nose with notes of pears, yellow apples, grass and a touch of yeast. Fruity, tart taste with pears, yellow apples, grass, citrus and a generous acidity in the finish. Medium body, just a slight sweetness. Tart and refreshing. Quite nice.

Bag-in-a-box at Ealing Beer Fest 25. Aroma has a hint of sweetness alongside the astringent pulp and peel. Slightly opaque amber. Thin frothy foamy translucent white head primarily sticks to the rim. Flavourwise it is then very surprisingly sweet and syrupy. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish.
