Description
Worleys Cider had a humble start, when cider maker Neil Worley started experimenting with apple varieties and blends; fermenting them to dry using natural yeasts. After initially buying fresh juice, we began to find our own fruit in various small Somerset orchards and gradually started to master the mysterious arts of fruit selection and fermentation.

This attention to selecting the right fruit has always been important at Worleys. We don’t add flavourings to our ciders, yet each cider we make has distinct characteristics, determined by the apple blends we use.

As the business started to grow, we invested in a lot of our own equipment – buying a mill and press and storage units and increasing the size of our premises. We’ve added a pasteuriser and box-filler to the list since.

Sampled from bottle at Amsterdam Craft Beer Fest 2016. Clear, golden yellow with a thin, white head. Sourish-fruity, aroma of vinegar, rotten apples, lemon and bitter almond. Moderately sour, sweetish-fruity taste of rotten apples, a bit of almond, some lemon and a bit of oak, followed by a short, moderately tart and rather dry finish. Thin to medium body, slightly astringent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay, a bit weird.

Bottle sample @ RBBWG 2016, thanks René. Dorée-orangé pas de col. Pomme, rétro fin caramel, pomme douce avec ce profil brut léger. Pétillant acerbe de la pomme, le tout est plaisant avec ce côté caramel-sucré qui persiste.
