Description
Cider was a hobby until 2015, now it is very much family life.

We made our first batch of cider as most do - from the apple tree in our garden. Turns out we were born to be cider makers! We started Napton Cidery the very next year, with the sole mission to collect unwanted apples from our village and surrounding orchards to make something wonderful. From pressing a simple 2000 litres in 2015, we now press over 90,000 litres per year, all sourced from small, traditional orchards in Herefordshire to support sustainable British farming.

Can from Bicester Avenue Garden Centre. Lightly hazed gold colour. Dry-ish. Apple-ish. Straw-ish. Watery-ish. It's all just a bit too ish, The flavours are good, and it's a pleasant enough drink; it just feels a bit half-hearted and not as good as it could or should be.

500ml can from the Hole GrAle, Durham. Hazy orange gold colour, no head and aroma of juicy apple. Taste is sweetish, apple, juicy, fruity, mellow, with some acidity and tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, medium sweet finish. Quite drinkable.

500ml bottle. Pours clear gold. Light apple fruit aroma. Ok back-sweetened cider overall, very clean and simplistic with no real character to it, and as such quite boring.
