Description
Green Valley Cyder is a beacon of craft cidermaking in the South West of England, dedicated to continuing the best traditions of cidermaking in the county of Devon. Green Valley Cyder is made only from freshly pressed Devon apples, slowly fermented using naturally present yeasts, in a county with near perfect conditions for apple-growing.
Just like wine, each vintage is slightly different but always the distinctive character and appley taste of REAL Devon comes through in the Green Valley Cyder range.

Bottle at Darts Farm, Topsham, Devon. Appearance - golden with no head and steady bubbles. Nose - autumnal, dried leaves and apples going brown. Taste - stewed apples and dry leaves. Palate - light to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - prefer a still cider but this is not bad.

At the Monk’s Retreat, Reading. Deep, shining gold. Still. Oddly smokey character up front, sharp and sweet behind with just a slight residual dryness in the finish. Grew on me. Decent.
