Description
All Pulp No Fiction.

Built on a desire to craft no-nonsense cider, PULP Cider smashes their apples the right way. Caring for their orchards for over a century, they take their families traditional skills and use them alongside modern techniques, coupled with a team of expert cider makers, they are pretty proud of what they craft.

They might not take themselves too seriously but PULP Cider are very serious about their craft!

The fresh-faced modern cider range already has an international customer base, their bright branding and bold attitude is a refreshing sight.

Made from Herefordshire Cider apples grown on the Wyer Croft estate, these delicious drops are a true premium craft cider offering. Established in 2014 for the festival market, the brand returned to its roots, knuckled down and released a range of bottles, cans and kegs during 2020.

Formerly produced at Real Cider in Hebden Bridge.

Can from Home Bargains, Byfleet. Clear ruby red. No head. Aroma isnquite syrupy. Some low key raspberry sharpness. Quite medicinal, like coughsweets. Flavourwise it's basically similar. Verry sweet and syrupy. Slightly acidic. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Industrial tasting stuff.

Festival pint draft at the Shambles Pub in York, England. Pours a crystal clear rose color with no head or lacing. Strong raspberry aroma, as expected. Wow, this tastes like strawberry candy. More of a fruit juice versus a true cider. Very sweet. Thin body and low carbonation. Zero bitterness. It's a sweet candy cider. Very refreshing. Definitely not beer, but I like the taste.

Can from House of Trembling Madness. Clear gold, starts with a small foamy white top. Aroma of fruity bittersweet apple juice, hint of wood. Taste of sweet fruity apples juice, quite tangy, bitter skin notes and drying in the finish. Fairly light bodied with sherbet like carbonation. A little simple for a craft cider but still tasty.
