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.

Vi brygger årets juleøl ("Julebrun på Holmen"), og da er ratingarbeid en naturlig del av bryggeprosessen: klar gylden med kort skum. Deilig duft og smak av engelske ciderepler, kanel, litt lær og behagelige tanniner. God fylde og lang, akkurat passe syrligsøt ettersmak.

Endelig mandag igjen, og vi er klar for kveldens andre (og siste) cider her på Cardinal (sept-18): klar lys gylden uten skum. Søtlige epletoner og hint av kanel. Fin fruktsyre, blir ikke for søt. Svært lettdrikkelig.

Bottle from B&M, Manchester. Golden, mildly carbonated cider. Dry, understated with its apple, although still strong tasting. Apple is best in its aroma.
