NEW Limited Edition Cider to tickle your fancy
This summer we’re enjoying a little added pure fruit with our cider in Apple County. We were very excited to launch 2 NEW 100% juice fruit ciders which have a drier, more sophisticated real flavour that stays true to the real cider base. And now we have a very special third variant to add into the mix with a short-run initial release. If redcurrant, and gooseberry flavours tickle your fancy, we’ve got a special summer cider treat for you. Both the joyful combination of flavours and the name of this fruit just proved impossible to resist.
