Gibbet Oak Farm, Appledore Road, Tenterden, TN30 7DH, England
Description
The Nightingale Cider Co started as a hobby with a friend, under the name Gibbet Oak Cider, selling to local events. 2013 was a big year, when we released our first bottled ciders. People loved them, and wanted more, so in 2015 Sam swapped his job in sound recording for muddy boots and overalls, and returned to the farm to re-join Tim, and concentrate on doing what he loved.

Finely carbonated unclear pale golden coloured body. Apple, earthy & citrus aroma. Medium bodied, sharp with a clean back. Apple, berry, citrus, floral & acidic tastes with a tangy finish. Quite an unusual cider but solid enough.

Can thanks to George. Appearance - clear, rose wine colour. Steady carbonation. Nose - dry apple and apple skin. Taste - bitter apple skin and Granny Smith. Palate - very dry, which I like. Then just stops short of astringent. Overall - like it. Better on not the coldest day of the year.
