Description
Cider done right. That means delicious West Country cider made from fresh apple juice, using the best locally-sourced apples. Founded in 2002, we are independent, family-owned and very proud to be based in the oldest working cider mill in the UK, breathing life back into the old building. Our home in the heart of Devon is the perfect micro-climate to grow cider apples and we are blessed with some of the finest bittersweet apple orchards in the world. We press and ferment whole juice from the finest locally sourced fruit, never from concentrate. No artificial flavours or aromas, simply the best natural ingredients, and then let it age to perfection. No shortcuts. The result? Delicious, beautifully balanced and naturally refreshing cider.

Cask, half-pint, shared with Finn at Adelphi in Preston. Clear amber coloured body, naked surface, poor lacing. Apple skins on the nose, woody. Mid-sweet taste of apples and pears, woody. Prolonged ending. Okay, a bit unvaried though. (05.02.2019).
