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.

Can from Home Bargains, Leeds. Peachy coloured cider with a stated enough apple, but not all together that flavoursome. Is crisp enough to enjoy with a slight dryness.

Can from this really, really cheap store in Radotín. BB is 8 months ago I reckon, but it cost 7 crowns. Yup, roughly 25 pence or cents. The aroma, however, is pretty fresh, clean appley aroma, lightly doughy maybe, but nice. The taste is all there, simple, fresh, clean appley notes, boosted by a citric rather than appley tartness. Medium carbonation, not too strong. It's literally what it says it is - a clean, tasty little cider boosted by a light dash of lime. Tasty, and I would gladly session a few of these. When it's that price... you cannot beat this. The pinnacle of cheapish industrial cider I've encountered so far.
