Cider making started as a hobby with production of some 25 litres. By 2013 we were using around 90 tonnes of home counties grown apples and crafting some 60,000 litres of Proper Cider which is increasing year on year (71,000 litres in 2019). We do not filter, pasturise or carbonate our products and the only additives are sucralose and sulphites in small quantities. We do everything in house and package in bottles, cans, bag in box, pouches, casks and kegs.

330ml can from Pilango. Pours a misty golden yellow. Aroma is fairly sour, some funk. Taste continues on the sour wild vibe, moderately acidic, drying close, light natural carbonation. Quite like this myself, but can't see it appealing to the masses.

Moderate sweetness hidden by a big initial sour acidic kick. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Dry sour finish.
