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.

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.

Cask at Secklow Hundred (JDW), Milton Keynes. Yellow/straw, only slightly hazy. Smells of apples, lime and of couse a bit of ginger. Taste is overtaken by ginger, which is pleasant but hardly engaging. Spicy ginger aftertaste. The chilli is present but hidden in the spiciness. While I prefer this ginger cider to most ginger beers, it’s not really my thing.

500ml bottle from Bier Huis. Clear yellow golden colour, short-lived thin bubbly white head and aroma of tart apple, apple skins, woody, barnyard. Taste is fruity apple, apple skins, vanilla, bittersweet, nicely rounded with some light barnyard and tannin. Slightly oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low to medium carbonation, dry sourish light tannic finish. Very drinkable cider.
