Description
Kniveton Cider Company uses a range of different apples and a mix of wild and cultured fermentations before being blended. As such, there will be slight variations in the style, taste and appearance. The character will also mellow as the cider matures in the bottle over time.

Bottle sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers GB! Aroma is funky and strong plant leaves, not a fan of the aroma at all. Flavour was like vegetable water, except it was very dry as well as watery. Not sure i am getting anything like apples coming through. Did not enjoy this one.
