COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
During the Roman Empire, the Roman armies were the first to plant orchards in England, when older soldiers were gifted land as an incentive for them to stay. Our orchards are not as old as the Roman Empire, however, our cider is made from traditional cider apples grown in Somerset along the ancient Fosseway road.

Fresh crisp apple aroma. Smells like a proper scrumpy but is perfectly clear. It’s a lovely sweet apple taste - crisp and zingy. Very nice.

Bottle from the Bristol Cider Shop. Deep gold with some short lived fizz. Dry apple fruit aroma with some wood and barnyard character. Flavour was also tart, with some skins and cores and a woody, dry finish. Good.
