“Have to confess, I've always been a ciderhead, used to love Strongbow Super and K, then discovered the delights of REAL cider, made on farms from historic (and often hysterically funnily named) varieties of apple from gnarled trees in ancient orchards. Since then I've sampled many brews, some sublime, a few a bit rough to be honest. This kit sits squarely in the upper bracket. I've had better, Sheppy Tremlets Bitter being one, but this is very fine example of the art. If I'd bought a couple of gallons of this back from a Somerset farm it'd be on my shopping list next time I was there. 22 quid for 5 gallons of top quality cider? No brainer. Tasting notes: Crisp acidity, tastes of high quality eating apple, some nice depth and a clean aftertaste that is currently demanding a second pint.Drinking this in February I think this would be a perfect Summer drop, but it won't last that long!”

“The kit contents and instructions are well written and very clear. i followed them precisely but sadly the end result is under-whelming to say the least. Approx one month on and it tastes of very little. I did add the enclosed sachet of cider flavouring and this seems to have just left a chemically/pear drop flavour. Hopefully this will mellow out in time but I'm not hopeful. I'll try mixing this with some other cider brewed from apples to add flavour. It would probably carry additinoal fruit flavours well but as a straight apple cider I'm disappointed.”
