Cider

[Ratchet Cat]

What's your favourite cider? I'm rather fond of Lidl's vintage cider. It's medium dry and rather a good price. It's made by Weston's. I do like a good scrumpy too.😃

The most important rule of any cider is that it must come from Herefordshire or Somerset, and Weston's certainly passes that test.

Irish, French, Swedish ciders are all an affront to the natural order of things and should not be tolerated.

I used to drink this, which was from either Aldi or Lidl and a Weston's product (I think), but doesn't seem to be available any longer

We've been enjoying various varieties of Dunkertons organic Herefordshire cider this week. Worth seeking out.

I'm as sure as I can be that was on the shelves today in the Aldi I use regularly.

Old Rosie. Proper cloudy, flat and strong. Too strong to drink all day!

Westons Vintage Organic. Deceptive in that it’s over 8% but doesn’t taste it, so can be “ dangerous “ 😉
I prefer a still cider and that certainly ticks all the boxes.
I think the flavoured ciders are just a modern take on “ Alcopops” , for da yoof market😁

On the rare occasions that I have a drink, my go to cider is this… Aspall premier cru cyder.

After an unseasonably hot climb out of Lulworth and along the nearby trails over hill and vale, this was possibly the most refreshing and welcome drink I’ve ever imbibed. Dorset Orchards Gold.

Lovely bottle design too.

Nonsense. There are gazillions of lovely Normandy and Brittany ciders. Sainsbury's used to sell a fabulous thing called Duché Dr Longueville. It was made from an apple called Gros Oeillet and was like Tarte Tatin in a bottle.

Dunkerton's Black Fox FTW. I have a mate who I sometimes house-sit for, conveniently situated in between Dunkerton's and Ralph's.

Devon red is very palatable, if your taste buds don't favour the sharp end of the scale. Many fine ciders in the westcountry, not just from up North (somerset & Hereford). There's nothing like good cider to make your smile grow wider🍻😁

Some good few years ago I was on hols in Herefordshire with Jack my pony, and ended up at an informal cider festival/party/jollification/whatever at the farm next to where I was camping.
My clearest memory is of posters and labels advertising a particular 'brand' of cider named after the hill on which the orchard grew.
Best drink Lyne Down
It would certainly have be en wise to drink any more than a small glass of it, 'Lyne Down'!
