Description
Skidbrooke Cyder Co started making Cider, like many others, to try use up the surplus apples. Several years we are now producing over 1500 gallons a year.

We produce real Lincolnshire cider from locally sourced apples. We use all types of fruit – cookers, eaters, crab apples and some cider apples.

Bottle from Sutton Bridge Co-op. Pale yellow, flat. Sharp apple smell with touches of vinegar, turpentine and brandy. Taste is incredibly sour, intense throat-burning vinegary finish. There’s dry and then there’s dry and then there’s this. I think it’s a mess. Not keen.
