English cider!
We tried Sheppy's Draught Cider a while ago, back in the Summer of 2015, but I do remember the taste.
It was alright, not bad, but not a cider we'd go out of our way to buy again.
It poured a light gold in the glass, without any head.
The aromas were of green apples, wood, smoke, straw, green apples, and a touch of vanilla.
It was pleasantly carbonated.
Initially it tasted quite sweet, but with a slight sour aftertaste it wasn't unpleasant, with flavours of apple pulp, pear, straw, and a hint of vanilla.
From the label -
Craftsmen cider makers for over 200 years
The Sheppy family have been farmer-cidermakers since the early 1800's,
producing ciders of quality and character. The skill and craftsmanship
which produce Sheppy's ciders remain unchanged over generations,
although modern technology helps with some of the hard work.
Home-grown and locally sourced apples guarantee the quality of the
blend and ensure that you get a drink to be savoured.
Somerset Draught combines cider apples and eating apples to produce
a crisp, fruit taste. So sit down and drink-in the rural beauty, the history
and the craft of six generations of cidermakers.
