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@The Flying Horde JDW, Gatwick - golden pour with thin dissipating bubbly head on pour. Aroma and taste is orchard apple fruity, medium to high carbonation, nice tart and crispness on the palate leading to pleasing dry finish. Great cider.

Bottle @ White Hart, Todmorden. Clear pale yellow with a carbonation. Certainly crisp and with a dryness, but there’s plenty of apple flavour and has a decent, if not a touch skunky, nose.

Still cider at the Cider Tap, Euston. Twilight gold, still, hazy. Wood cask and apple skin aroma. Dry enough to absorb all moisture from your face. Taste is a sweet/sour/bitter perfectly poised at an amazing palate. Dry finish; sour/bitter apple skin aftertaste. Sublime.
