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.

500ml bottle from The Offy, Whitstable. Drunk in our hotel room at Heathrow prior to our flight to the IPA. Sorry, USA. Pours gold with a light mist. Aroma has a pleasant light sweetness, floral, pear fruit. Taste is clean, light and floral sweet, not massively perry-like. Not bad.
