Grazed Knee Cider

Description
Once upon a bike ride, a gravelly puddle became the site of an injured lower leg. Recovering from the grazed knee, over a glass of local cider, we wondered whether we too could produce something so delicious and refreshing. We found ourselves a few acres of land surrounded by the Isle of Wight’s outstanding natural beauty, planted our 250 trees over several years, assembled our cidery in a cave under St Boniface Down, gathered knowledge from the traditional sources of the Three Counties and the West Country and got down to work. Grazed Knee Cider was born.

Sample, many thanks to Grumbo for this! Misty pale yellow appearance. Aroma of bittersharp apple fruit, floral lemon. Taste presents a gentle carbonation, medium dry character with mellow barnyard funk, light sulphur, tight tannins with some moderate apple juice and floral lemon glimpses. Not bad.
