Description
The Hecks family have been making traditional farmhouse cider in Somerset for six generations, since 1841.

In 1896, we started to sell our cider from our farm shop in Street.

We make our cider by blending juice from apples all grown locally in the farm’s orchards. The cider is fermented in wooden barrels and sold draught from the wood.

Draught straight from the barrel by Mr Heck's himself @ his cider barn in Street. Pours misty gold. Aroma presents a good vibrant farmhouse fruitiness. Taste is soft, farmhouse fleshy fruit, distant tannin, nice SV cider.

BIAB sample from Leeds Beer Festival 2019 courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Pale yellow colour, no head and mucky pear aroma. Taste is sweet, fruity pear, melon, with mucky horseblanket funk and some drying tannin. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, medium-dry finish with some residual sweetness. Quite drinkable.

Fra fad på Hop House Amager, kvelden før årets ølfestival i Lokomotivværkstedet mai-19: klar gylden uten skum. Deilig duft og smak av saftige ciderepler. Slank og meget lettdrikkelig. Lang eftersmag gir en forfriskende effekt, såvidt jeg kan tyde mine skriblerier (kveldens absolutt siste planke).
