Silly Moo Cider

Mooooo!

Golden colour, slightly hazy and sparkling 

Good big trad cider nose of fermented apple.

Slightly tart, fresh apple taste initially. Mellows quickly to a medium dry lingering aftertaste with a bit of pear drop. Leaves good mouth wetness. 

Very decent 4.8 cider, and the lingering aftertaste would make this a good session cider. 

'Udderly flavourful' - indeed it is.

Light golden colour, slightly hazy, sparkling. Strangely not as hazy as you’d expect from unfiltered (perhaps I was careful enough in pouring)

Big traditional cider nose. Soft and sweet of fermenting apple.

Oh nice cider taste! Not hugely different from the Cowfold I’ll be honest, possibly a little less tart and a smidge more tannin I think and possibly slightly softer because of the remaining yeast. Again nice long medium dry aftertaste with a nice tingle on the tongue.

I think I slightly prefer it to the Cowfold but they're both lovely. You can get this sparkling in the bottle and flat in a bag-in-box and even in tins. Apparently it's better sparkling from bottle than from handpump and flat, although I haven't tried it myself.

This was a one off batch that we tried back in 2020 but sadly they don't do at the moment.

Keeving if you don't know is a method of making sweeter cider by slowing or stopping the fermentation without killing it. Usually used in making French ciders but getting popular over there as well.

Golden yellow & Fizzy.

Good traditional cider smell.

Lots of apple flavour with a fair amount of tannin but not unpleasant. Lovely soft long aftertaste that doesn't get too sweet which makes it dangerously quaffable.

7.8 so not a session cider. Strong enough to go well with cheese. But not sweet enough for a desert. One off batch
