We don't make our own, but have chosen some lovely ciders for
you; we stock both fresh and bottled varieties.
New: Hogan's Hazy Rays - 3.9%
3L Bag in Box - £12
"A deliciously light, fruity and moreish fresh pressed hazy
cider. This best seller carries an abundant appley aroma to the
nose. With more than a hint of citrus and berry delicately balanced
against the apple sweetness on the palate, Hazy Rays is the perfect
refreshing session drink for those lazy summer days.
TASTING NOTES
Still Cider - Light / Fruity / Citrus & berry"
New: Hogan's Harvest Press - 5.3%
3L Bag in Box - £12
"A distinctively fresh bittersweet, still, cloudy cider. Appley
aroma with peaty undertones, this medium dry cider is just
challenging enough to be easy drinking. A real taste of the orchard
for those ready to embrace proper cider.
TASTING NOTES
Still cider - Fresh / Bittersweet / Earthy"
New: Cotswold Cider Company - No Brainer Cider - 6%
1 Litre Flagon - £5.75
Only an hour from the brewery the Cotswold Cider Company has a
dry, still, hazy cider, renowned for its rich, fruity and
distinctive quality. Bottled in an old style 1 litre flagon
it looks great too.
Hogan's Medium Cider - 5.4%
500ml - £2.50
"Some 'medium' ciders, not ours, are so full of sugar that your
teeth just want to crawl out of your mouth. Look at our
ingredients, we just let the natural flavour of our fermented cider
apples speak for themselves."
TASTING NOTES
Aromatic / Earthy / Well balanced / Moreish
Crazy Dave's Medium Berkshire - 5.5%
Still - 500ml Bottle -
£2.50
We love the story behind Dave's cider. From hobbyist to full
time cider maker Dave collects (by hand) tonnes of apples from
local orchards and apple trees, many of which are on private land
and in gardens. Collecting the fallen apples and taking unwanted
fruit Dave processes the cider at his HQ on the Berkshire Collage
of Agriculture site.
Made up the road at the Berkshire Collage of Agriculture, Dave
turned a hobby into a thriving business. Locally picked apples are
used to make this traditional cider.
TASTING NOTES
Still Cider - Sharp / Refreshing / Traditional
Angioletti 'Secco' Sparkling Italian Craft Cider - 5%
750ml Bottle - £6.00
Made from 100% Italian apple juice, this is a great, lower
alcohol alternative to prosecco.
TASTING NOTE
Fine bubbles - Fine bubbles; aromas of fresh apple and white
blossom are followed by intense, fresh flavours of orchard fruits,
and a satisfying, clean, crisp aftertaste.
Angioletti
Rosé with Blueberry' Sparkling Italian Craft Cider - 4%
750ml Bottle - £6.00
Made from 100% Italian apple juice, blended with blueberry
juice, this is a great, lower alcohol alternative to prosecco. The
blueberry gives the cider a nice Rosé appearance and a slightly
sweeter flavour.
TASTING NOTE
Fine bubbles - Fresh apple flavours balanced by the
rounded, juicy character of blueberry fruit. The aftertaste is
long, clean and fresh with a hint of creaminess.
