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.

Bottled. A yellow cider with a bit of head. The aroma has notes of wood, brettanomyces, and apples. The flavor is sweet with notes of wood, vinegar, apples, and brett, leading to a tart finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle, 5.5% - drunk chilled. Cloudy yellow colour. Apple core aroma. The flavour is spicy and sweet and also astringent. Good combination of spices, and I am sure a lot better than gløgg or Glühwein heated.

Bottle, 75cl. It pours unclear, pinkish golden and with some bubbles on top. The aroma has a nice blend of cardamom, other spices and sweet apples. Rather sugary in the mouth, with cardamom spicyness and apples. Medium body, surprisingly warming to be 5.5%. Spiced, sweet, apple finish. A nice surprise, would be interesting to taste it heated too. 120218
