HEART OF HAMPSHIRE 6.0% (DRY)

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL PERRY 5.0% (MEDIUM)
Named after the Leadbelly song, it has a pleasant and full- bodied taste with a deep straw colour. This is not too sweet due to the blend of different pear varieties used. GF, VE

RUM CASK 7.0% (MEDIUM)
It is matured in wooden casks which used to have rum in them and therefore infuse the drink slowly with a distinct warming rum taste. This cider will definitely shiver your timbers ☺ GF, VE

STRAWBERRY 4.0% (MEDIUM SWEET)
This starts life as a light 3% cider. We add strawberries allowing them to infuse for a couple of weeks, before lightly pressing the rest of their juice out. Fruity cider with a medium to sweet taste. GF, VE

TOFFEE APPLE 4.0% (MEDIUM SWEET)
A sweet cider blended from dessert and cider apple varieties, gently infused with toffee to give a deep caramel aroma and colour. A toffee apple without the crunch! GF, VE
