Review Summary:
Small-batch English ciders are rare in Canada, so it's a delight to drink this Somerset sparkler. Made with juice pressed from British heritage cider apples that cidermaker Neil Worley sources from orchards around Somerset and then presses himself, this semi-sweet amber-hued cider has rich dessert apple flavours, a lightly sweet caramel finish, light acidity to balance and a low barnyard-like funk that makes it quintessentially British. A great cider for those who like the sweeter side of the beverage but crave a bit more complexity. Available from Ontario's Communal Merchants via private order.
