About
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.

4.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4
On tap at Brewdog Newcastle pours a clear, dark gold, no head. No apparent carbonation. Nose is sweet with almost an ice cider note, honey, more sweet red delicious style apples rather than the tart green ones. Flavor is simple, sweet crisp apple, a little apple wine, some honey. Sweet finish. Not special.

Cask @ Hunters Inn, Parracombe. Very pale yellow coloured cider. Has a lovely palatable light texture with a mild fizz and smoothness to it. It’s apple is more stated in its nose, but there’s enough in its taste to enjoy, with a lingering dryness of the fruit in the palate.

Ship and Mitre. Clear orange. Strawberry and apple aroma with a bit of spice/cinnamon. Taste is quite sweet and heavy on strawberry. Refreshing, sweet, but also a bit lacking in balance.
