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.

Cask @ Stubbing Wharf, Hebden Bridge. Hazy dishwater yellow in colour. Light, but not thin with apple evident in both aroma and taste. There’s a mild sweetness (the marmalade) to the cider with a short aftertaste.

Cask @ Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. Slightly hazy paler orange coloured cider. An initial apple gives way to a noticeable strength in its aftertaste.

On draught at the Carlton Arms, Cambridge. Light, almost lagery yellow. Not so much of an apple scent as a grassy/earthy/woody thing going on. Taste is sweeter than the aroma suggests. Feels more alcoholic than 6%, very boozy... Papery dry aftertaste. Pretty good.
