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.

BIAB @ Shrewsbury hotel. Pours hazy gold. Taste presents waxy fruit, some juice, smooth & quaffable. Can’t detect much in the way of a French influence, perhaps if it was sparkling. Decent nonetheless.

Keg @ Kafe Belgie. White wine coloured without a head. Nose is slightly sweet and sour apples, bit of dry carbonation smell. Flavour is moderately sweet and sour apples. Light bodied. Not much going on here, not very complex. Short and slightly dry finish. Meh.
