Description
Paul Stephens started Newton Court Cidery back in 2000. His mum and dad still come over most days to help out with the lambing and whatever else needs fixing...

Newton Court Cider is part of an 157 acre certified organic farm with 30 acres of cider apple and perry pear orchards. We are proud to make award winning ciders and Perries using fruit from our own orchards or from friends in Herefordshire. We pick, press, ferment and bottle everything ourselves.

For us, craft cider means cider that's pressed at our farm by a master cider maker named Paul (and a few of his local friends). It means making cider out of proper apples. It means a cidery surrounded by orchards, not industrial equipment. It means people covered in mud and apple peels, not people in suits. Buying craft cider supports local business, the heritage and the countryside (find out more about on our environment page). But most of all, craft cider tastes much, much better.

Vi er snart halvveis i programmet på denne RBHD-samlingen på Bryne, og stemningen er naturligvis på topp. 0,33 flaske. Klar gylden med kort skum. Søtte epler med litt emmen ettersmak. Tror de andrre likte denne mye bedre enn meg.

BIAB sample from minutemat, thanks Mat! Hazy golden colour, no head and aroma of slight tart apple. Taste is sweetish, then tangy apple, and sharp vinegary funky, some tannin and acidity. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying tart acidic finish. Quite OK

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours clear, very pale yellow with a few quickly fading bubbles. Simple and sugary, though certainly enjoyable and moderately refreshing. Has some ripe pears, a little white sugar, maybe a nip of pears stewed in butter, sourdough bread. Light to medium bodied, pretty much soft. Sweet finish with just a hint of dryness, and even slighter musty hints. But mostly sweet, ripening pear. Fun overall.

Box @ Shrewsbury Real Ale Festival 2019, Day 2. Pours a misty gold, aroma is quite sharp, sour. Taste is incredibly acidic, sharp, tangy, masking much of the normally sweet fruit character. In fact, it's not a flavour profile I would normally associate with this apple. Not undrinkable, just very acidic and sour.
