Description
When we first made cider it was with the windfall from family and friends’ apple trees. We hired a scratter and a basket press and everyone gathered on a sunny Autumn morning with their bags of scrumped fruit.
Now we buy apples by the tonne and we ferment in stainless steel vats. But not much else has changed.
We still only use local apples and – when it’s time to press and to bottle – our friends and family still gather to lend a hand.

(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 25 May 2022) Pale yellow colour with no head. Fruity nose with apples, pears and grass. Fruity, tart taste with notes of apples, grass, hints of white wine (Chardonnay?) and a dry finish with a balanced acidity. Medium body, dry. Tasty and refreshing. Quite nice.

Notater fra en aldeles hyggelig kveld på Våland med Phd-stipendiaten og trekkspilleren: en 0,5 flaske fra importkofferten. lett uklar lys gylden uten skum. Lukter og smaker citronvaskemiddel, litt pære og ikke særlig annet. Syltynn. Rusbrus for fjortiser. Disgusting.
