About
There have been many changes since Gordon Rich started pressing cider apples at Mill Farm, although essentially the production of the juice is still traditional.

We are a family run business producing traditional farmhouse cider and farm pressed apple juice, with locally harvested Somerset apples.

Bottle from Scrattings. Clear glowing gold, brief fizz on top, bubbles around the edges, looks well carbonated. Aroma of sweet fruity apple juice and pith, some brown sugar and barnyard musk. Taste of tangy apple juice and core, light blossom, long but mellow bitterness finishing semi-dry. Medium bodied, smooth oiliness on palate, fine carbonation. Really nice balance to this one and quite tasty.

500ml bottle, unsure where from. Pours a hazed deep orange. Aroma of apple mush, hay, farmyard. Flavour profile presents quite a pleasant rough scrumpy side for an AF cider, with soft tannins, apple pomace, caramelised scuzzy fruit, well carbonated. Pretty decent.

Bottle from Truckles, Burnham-on-sea. Aroma is sweet with a slight bite. Clear very light gold. A thin mm translucent white band for a head. Light bitter. Peel. Tannin. Develops low key sweetness and a sour edge. Light. Thin. Slightly sticky. Flat-average carbonation. Nice enough but not particularly invigorating.

Bottle bought at the cidery. Aroma has sweet juice alongside a dry peel and tannin. Clear gold. Foamy white head retreats to the rim. Initial sweet sugariness. Then develops a dry peel and tannin streak. Yes, I have just described the aroma again. Light. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long slightly dry finish. Nice enough if kinda watery.

(Cask at Euston Tap West, Euston, London, 18 May 2023) Hazy golden colour with no head. Fruity nose with apples, citrus and an almost silage like yeast touch. Fruity, tart taste with notes of apples, citrus, hay, apple skin tannins and a generous acidity in a dry finish. Medium body, quite dry. Solid and well made. Nice one.
