Barbourne Kingston Black Worcestershire Cider




A light tanned colour
of cider.

Strong hard cider,
slightly sparkling
and dry.

The apples would have been high in malic acid.

Good body and zest!

Kingston Black cider apples considerred the greatest
of all cider apples.

Goldern and Clear
Strong and Scottish
Smells of 'Vimto Chewing
gum' and that's not being
negative.Its the first impression
the odour of the cider gave me when first opening bottle,
positive!
Fruity sweetness of smell with a slight fizz on the tongue
and a hint of bitterness .
Very deceiving in terms of alcohol strength.
Interesting product to cook with.

to your taste bubs.
Lovely smooooooth perry

Hogan's Medium Dry Cider



Hogan's cider nestling at Haselor,just a few miles East of Alcester in the county of Warwickshire.


The cider has won awards at 'The three Counties show' and 'Big Apple Cider Trials' at Putley to name just two.

Tall brown 500ml bottle which on opening eminates a scent of cider apples.

Slightly sparkling.

Strange and silly but the initially taste reminds me of cheese!
(A postive taste)
A musky dryish tasting cider,leaving a lovely taste of apple on the palate and back of the throat.
