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.

From a bag in a box at the Portcullis, Clifton, Bristol 11/08/2011. Deep gold with a trace of carbonation. Dry aroma of apple cores and skin with a hint of sweetness in the background. Flavour was similar, although slightly sweeter than the Crossman’s TB tried immediately before, with a dry finish. Fine.

Polycask at Banbury Beer Festival 05.05.11 Pours hazy lemon colour. Initially quite tart and offering a wonderful tanginess before settling down to become, wonderful juicy with a sweetness flooding through. This is full of big, soft juicy overipe pears, can’t stop thinking of Nigella (the voluptuos cookery person) whilst I write that last bit. Good stuff. A6 A4 T8 P8 P4 Ov14 3.6
