Description
Inspired by the landscape, culture, and the abundance of fruit in the North West, AVID Cider Company, a family run business, is dedicated to creating hard cider using sustainably sourced and local ingredients. AVID Cider Co. was founded as a result of the dissatisfaction with the lack of variety and excessively dry or cloyingly sweet ciders available in the market place in 2013. We saw the opportunity to create hard cider that better balances the elements of a flavor profile, and satiates our thirst for a cider that is “just right.”

Admin Note: Formerly known as Atlas Cider Company, the owners were forced to change the name to AVID Cider Company in 2018.

On tap at Schilling, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out much cinnamon upfront, followed by subdued dry pear. Flavour brings out a nice balance of pear skins and cinnamon. Very accessible, with medium-high sweetness. One of those more mainstream cheap ciders, but it's still quite enjoyable. Solid.

On tap at The Growler Guys, pours a clear dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of apricots and floral perfumey notes. Flavour is similar, with loads of perfumey notes and apricots, along with thin green apples. Not too impressive really. Amateur cider.
