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 the Cock Tavern - Hackney. Pours clear yellow-gold with a thin smattering of white head. Nice aroma, some over-ripe and even mildly rotten apple, a little honey, biscuits, some musty peel. Light to medium sweet flavour with pleasant acidity, some sweat, sugary apples, some farmyard. Light bodiednwith spritzy carbonation. Bucket balanced finish, with a little funky aspect, more tart apples, moderate sugars, balancing acidity. Very nice,
