Description
Middle Farm is the home of Pookhill cider.

Nestling at the foot of Firle Beacon on the South Downs in Sussex, Middle Farm is a 625 acre working family farm. We offer a warm countryside welcome, with something for every member of the family to enjoy.

Six generations of farming have given us a unique insight into British food production. The highest standards of animal welfare and environmental care show in our milk and meat products. We demand those same high standards from everyone whose produce we stock.

In more recent years, Mr Pile set up the cider business, collecting cider from small farms all over the west country to sell at Middle Farm.

The Little Red Rooster range are a product of Pookhill Cider.

@GBBF2011. Golden colour, small head. Aroma is apples, spices, sweet nectary notes as well as honey. Flavour is apples, and a very sweet stingy burning alcoholic tone to it. Mild spicyness and nectar to be notes as well. Way too alcoholic burning to be nice.

Cask@GBBF2011. Deep hazy amber colour, no head. Aroma is rum, fruits, apples, some alcohol and mild wooden notes. Flavour is rum, apples, alcohol, wood, yeast, some mild riped fruits as well. Really pleasant. I could have just stopped rating right there, and bought this on and on for the rest of the day.

Plastic barrel@GBBF2011 (thanks harrisoni!). Golden colour, small head. Aroma is apples, mild acidic notes as well as some slight earthyness. Flaour is apples, quite dry and sour with some mild vanillaish notes as well. Not that much traces of pear in this one to be honest...

Plastic barrel at Gbbf 2011. Clear gold lasting white head. Woah there cowboy. This is serious stuff. Obvious alcohol on nose. More like a pear brandy. Sweet alcohol in mouth and on finish. Astonishing but pretty raw and uncultured at the same time. Touch of sweet pear juice tries to break through. Memorable
