Description
Almost 70 years after the family’s ancestors started farming at Pine Trees Farm, Rob Payne became the 5th generation to join the family business.
The fruit industry, particularly for smaller farms, is a struggling sector in UK agriculture, but Rob was determined to find a way to pay his wage and continue farming.
Making cider seemed like a natural progression. Using apples grown on the farm, Rob made his first small batch of cider in 2009 to sell at local farmers’ markets.

Hazed golden color with a bubbly white head. Good intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Semi dry and a fine acidity. Nice mellow apple flavor.

Sampled @ GBBF Day 2. [GBBF no. 7 perry] Clear very pale, well, pear juice. Nothing else looks this way I think. No head. Aroma is quite sweet, overripe pear. Taste is also very sweet, sweet pear, but also other ripe fruits come through like mango, peach and sweet mandarins. Sugary as well, yet decent.

Draft @ GBBF 16. Pours clear, pale green. Aroma is distinctive sweet perry fruit. Taste continues with a nice luscious sweet character and a drying finish.

So damn drinkable. Dry. Lovely blackcurrants. Could be a bit tarter but it really hits the spot! Great stuff!
