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.

Cask @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 09.10.2010
Aroma is slightly sour with apples, some earthy and leathery notes and hints of fruit sugar. Flavour is slightly sour with green apples, leathery notes and some fruit sugar. Finishes acidic. My first real cider, nice but could be even more sour.
