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 at the Alma, London, Oktoberfest Beer Festival. Pours a glowing, ruby-pink, with basically no head. Really, this hue is remarkable. Otherworldy even! Has an apple and light funk aroma. Flavor is dank, sweet, dry. Hintsof sweaty gym socks and dirt. Medium bodied with no carbonation. Has a very dry, sweet finish with light must, earth, apple and more dankness. Super cider.

From a polypin at the Seven Stars, Bristol 18/09/10. Silvery green in colour with slight carbonation. Light, dryish pear juice aroma with a touch of tart skin and core. Flavour was similar, being very easy to drink with a dryish finish. Good.

From a bag in a box at the Portcullis cider festival, Clifton, Bristol 12/08/10. Hazy gold in colour with slight carbonation. Sweet, pear fruit aroma with a touch of earthy skin. Flavour began with the same sweet juice, before rustic core and skin took over, with a hint of spice and dryish finish. Full of character.
