Description
John Hibbert a.k.a. Ciderman lives at Broughton Bank, just north of Cartmel in southern Cumbria, "Lancashire over the Sands" as it used to be called. This is where he plants, picks and presses apples and pears to make cider and perry. This is certainly not the sweet fizzy stuff you find in normal pubs and supermarkets, it's a very special drink. Pay Ciderman a visit. Follow the signs and have a taste. He thinks you'll be glad you did!

Sample thanks to danlo. Cheers mate! Pours a misty golden yellow. Aroma of sweet apple and allusions to mango fruit. Crisp initial sip with subtle wild funk nuances, very soft tannin and a fruit profile that brings citrus, vanilla and green apple with a lingering acidity.
