Description
The first commercial production was started in 2011 and has expanded since then, although this is a very artisan operation and total output is still only about 2000 litres.

Four orchards are used, two of which can be described as "boutique" since, between them, they contain over 70 varieties of apples with each variety growing on only a single tree. In addition, two other orchards are used that supply classic cider apple varieties such as Yarlington Mill, Dabinett, Harry Masters Jersey, and Chisel Jersey. All of the orchards are unsprayed.

BIAB at Scrumpy Pumpy Cider Fest 2020 at Cider Box, Bristol. Yelllow gold colour, no head and aroma of musty apple. Taste is oaky, apple, wood barrel, vanilla, with formic notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, medium dry finish. Quite drinkable.

From a bag in a box at the Portcullis, Clifton, Bristol 11/08/2011. Deep gold with slight carbonation. Aroma of juicy apple fruit with a hint of spice. Easy drinking for the ABV with plenty more fruit a touch if sin and medium dry finish. Good.
