Crafty Brands (SXOLLIE Xider)
Cidery in Grabouw, Western Cape, South Africa 🇿🇦
A now merged brewery came in as being from Nederburg, South Africa but the 'Crafty Brands' located there is permanently closed, according to Google Maps, whereas the website seems quite alive.
Another address that I found is "Wildepaardejacht, Klein Drakenstein, Nederburg", but that's on a different location.
Both locations are in the city of Paarl, but the one I merged into is in Grabouw, where it currently is residing for BV.
The website claims the company to be based in London ( SXOLLIE, 15 Spring Bridge Mews, Ealing, W5 2AB )

330 ml bottle, as Sxollie Packham's Triumph Perry, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.5%. Clear and extremely pale straw colour, pours sparkling with a small and shortlived white head. Moderate aroma of crushed pears. Moderate carbonation in the mouth, thin mouthfeel. Sweet flavour of pears, lacks a counterpoint of tannins. I am not impressed by this pear variety. Won't buy again.
