Description
Welcome to Healeys! We mix apples and imagination to make delicious food and drink. Deep in the heart of the Cornish countryside, we’re a family-run farm that’s been lovingly making award-winning cyders, wines, spirits, juices, preserves, and sauces for nearly 40 years. Since planting our first trees in 1986, we've grown to become the largest independent cyder-maker in Cornwall and the first distillery for 300 years. Family owned and Cornish born and bred. Whether it’s getting to the core of great flavour or thinking outside the box, we know what it takes to make apples special. And we love welcoming visitors to the farm to discover our Healeys charm themselves.

500ml bottle from local shop. Pours a salmon pink colour with a white foam head that dissipates away. Nose of tangy berry flavouring. Taste is sweet, raspberry, strawberry, jammy, with some mellow drying cranberry notes. Watery, light bodied, low carbonation, lingering sweet finish. OK, abit too sweet.

Tap at Pump House, Shirley, Solihull. Poured a hazy straw colour with a bubbly round head. The aroma is sweet apple. The flavour is moderate sweet with a dry yeast, apple, bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Sweet but with little carbonation. Pretty good as far as ciders go. Served cool but not too cold which helped.

Box @ The Cherry Tree, Huddersfield. Slightly hazed golden ale. It’s not spicy or hot as its name might indicate, but has a taste of its own with a bubble-gum aroma and sweetness slightly dominating its apple flavour.

Bottle from Good Life, Polperro. Slightly paler golden coloured cider. Has a fair nose, but is much more stated with its pear in its taste, although this is fast and doesn’t hang around too much in its aftertaste where there’s a general cider sweetness.

75cl bottle @ Healeys Cider Farm, Cornwall. Pours deep amber with a good rum-influence in the aroma. Being as I used to be partial to a good Jamaican rum in my youth I was particularly looking forward to this. The rum flavours are definitely present, smooth, sweet and vanillary, blending well with a rich golden cider. It’s impressive, and compared to Healeys standard range it’s good to see them bringing out ’premium’ stuff like this, but perhaps a proper down-to-earth medium-dry would be a good move after this.
