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.

500ml bottle from Morrisons supermarket. Pours a sparkling yellow gold colour with a white foam head that quickly dissipates away. Aroma of mellow fruity apple and light funk. Taste is sweetish, apple, fruity, some tartness and tannin, alittle woody oak and hint of funk. Medium bodied, fine slightly spritzy carbonation, dry tangy finish. Quite drinkable.
