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.

Bottle. Clear pale yellow-golden color with no head. Aroma is restrained apple juice, a tiny little bit funky. Taste is sweet apple juice, again not very flavourful, medium dry finish with less carbonation than expected. Inoffensive, but nothing exciting either.

500ml bottle. Sparkling golden colour, short-lived white foam head and tangy apple aroma. Taste is fruity apple, bittersweet, mellow, with alittle apple skin, straw and tannin. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry lightly tannic finish. Quite drinkable.

Bag-in-a-box from the Flying Pig, Cambridge. Musty apple aroma, heavy on the vinegar. Tastes sweet at first but there’s a touch of soap afterward. Nice sour tang in the finish with sour apple lingering on the aftertaste. I get used to it, but it’s not the most balanced of their ciders. Bit of a mixed bag.

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.
