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.

Jug: Golden, no visible carbonation, almost no head; relatively dry, sourish-fruity aroma of apples; dryish tart and also sweet flavour, quite soft, medium bodied; moderate sweet and sourish-tart finish with a light tinge of alcohol, dominated by apples, what else. Pleasant drink.....

Bottled. Slightly hazy yellowish golden colour with no head. Aroma is quite dry green apples, along with some yeast, mild herbal and also a bit bluecheesy noes. Flavour is dry green apples, but still quite sweetish. Also has some mild herbal and bluecheesy notes. Refreshing and very drinkable.

Bottle from ASDA. Apparently a blend of cider and pears in some form, whether perry or plain juice, I know not. Pale gold with plenty of fizz. Sweet, stewed apple aroma with a hint of pear. Pear juice was more prominent in the flavour, with some medium dry apples in the background and syrupy finish. Not very nice.

500ml bottle from ASDA. Hazy, pale gold with slight carbonation and a few clumps of yeast at the bottom of the bottle. Cheesy, dry apple aroma. Flavour was on the sweet side, with some caramel, baked apples and cinnamon, before a medium finish. A bit lacking in character, but certainly very quaffable.

Glass jug - a nice sour apple aroma. Clear pale yellow color. Flavor is very nice- slightly sweet apple flavor with absolutely no bitterness at all. I was barely able to detect there was alcohol in it at all. Nice drinking cider
