Apples are collected from traditional cider orchards in and around the parish of Pilton and slowly fermented for six months in our cool Victorian cellar before bottling.
Pilton is available as a selection of bottles and also draught in kegs, see our full range here.

750ml bottle from Pilton Cider. Orangey golden colour, thin foamy white head and aroma of baked apple, caramel, strawberry hint, some funk. Taste is tart, fleshy appley, baked apple, strawberry note, and fruity, caramel, barnyard funky with some acidity. Medium bodied, light carbonation, dry fruity acidic finish. Nicely drinkable.

Many thanks to Shig. Glass mug pour at Sam's, I mean George's NC tasting.
Transparent, light honey gold, quick soda head.
Tannic, classic bittersweet nose, big floral honey, slight green pepper.
Bittersweet leaning sweet, honey, green veg, very clean yeast, slightly pedestrian, lovely lingering tannins. Just above entry level in all the right ways.
Super sloshable.
