Description
It’s too easy to let life become predictable and settle for the ordinary. Luckily though, Orchard Pig is no ordinary cider. It all began in a Somerset shed, surrounded by the best West Country apple trees and free roaming Old Spot pigs. But, whilst every orchard has apples, not every orchard has Old Spot pigs. We believe our free-spirited attitude is the magic ingredient which makes every pint of Orchard Pig taste so refreshingly different to all the rest. Not your average apples, not your average pig. Orchard Pig. It’s a rare breed.

Bottle from Quality Save, Manchester. Golden coloured cider. Its strength is noticeable, but not too overbearing, with a mild apple flavour and aroma with some sweetness.

Bottle from Quality Save, Manchester. Pale golden coloured. The apple aroma and flavour is light, but it does linger long in the palate where it’s probably at its most stated. Nice and crisp with a small fizz.

The aroma is a mix of fairly sweet apples and a touch of wood. Light carbonation. Has a very slight dryness. Overall too sweet, lacks a touch of sharpness.

Bottled (backlog). Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is sweet apples, some mild vanilla and a bit of yeasty notes. Flavour is sweet and tart apples with some slight sugary and mild winelike notes. A bit thin, but otherwise ok.

Bottle at the ledger rooms jdw. Clear pale gold coloured pour with a fleeting effervesce. Aroma is sharp apple, light semi sweet Apple. Crisp. Flavour is clean and crisp tart apple, pretty easy going. Palate is semi sweet, crisp, moderate carbonation. Better than a lot of the alcohol pop ciders.

Smaksprøve på Tufnell Park Tavern, med Julian og Kitty : engelske epler, epler og epler i skjønn forening. Ikke for søt, ikke for sur. Bare en god cider uten det kunstige preget som de masseproduserte har.
