Ciderniks’
ciders are made with pure apple juice with
nothing else added apart from a special yeast
to ensure a reliable fermentation of the juice,
especially when the weather turns colder.
The strength of the ciders produced is, therefore,
dependent on the percentage of sugars in the
pressed apples. Wherever
possible, apples are sourced locally. The
mixture of apples used will produce a distinctive
taste each year. Most juice will be allowed
to finish fermentation. This tends to produce
a drier cider – those who prefer a sweeter
taste may wish to try adding a small amount
of sugar before drinking.

| Ciders |
The
current ciders available include:
- Combe
Raider
(ABV 6%) made from a mixture of apple varieties,
including some cider apples. Combe Raider
was pressed in the autumn of 2008 and is
currently maturing, although initial tastings
show a well developed, refreshing cider
in the making!
- Yellowleg
(ABV 6%) is a dry refreshing cider, with
a hint of citric, made from a mixture of
apples sourced in Inkpen. The name is derived
from the old nickname for the Inkpen clayworkers
and reflects the colour of the workers'
legs after a day's work in the clay pits,
rather than anything else more sinister!
- Yarlington
(ABV 7%) is made from a single variety cider
apple, Yarlington Mill, and was made in
2005 from apples sourced from a certified
organic orchard near Leominster. Yarlington
has a surprisingly dark colour and a distinctive
taste – you’ll either love it
or hate it, but the long maturation has
produced a medium cider with a soft taste.
- MXD
(ABV 6.5%) is a medium dry cider, a blend
of Yellowleg and Yarlington which keeps
some of the distinctive taste of Yarlington,
but is a little drier.
