An Apple Cider A Day, The English Way

 


Beautifully floral fruity notes with light hints of honey and yeast.

Rich amber and gold with tints of olive green colour.

Refreshingly sweet, syrup and crisp apple tasting flavours will brings out the kid in all of us.

Cons:
 Only available in 550ml.

Pro:
 Organically Grown Apples.  Change it up at the table, really good enough to be served in place of wine or champagne.

It was severed: Cold - placing bottles in the freezer for at least 90 minutes before hand, keeping it cool throughout the meal. Not severed on ice as not to dilute all it's wonderful flavors.  Enjoyed in champagne and balloon glasses and frozen beer mugs.

Amazing with Asian food, every swallow cleansed the palate allowing me to enjoy the food over and over again.

    Brewery

Samuel Smith's
 ORGANIC CIDER
 Samuel Smith's (informally and popularly known as Sam Smith's) is an independent British brewery in Tadcaster, Yorkshire, England. It brews at Yorkshire's oldest brewery, which was founded in 1758.

History

In 1847, Samuel Smith, a butcher and cattle dealer from Meanwood, Leeds, funded his son John to buy a struggling brewing business in Tadcaster from the Hartley family. That brewery, founded in 1758, is said to be the oldest in Yorkshire.

John Smith took over the brewery in 1852 forming John Smith's Brewery. He was later joined by his brother William. John then left the brewery to the eldest son of his other brother Samuel and the joint custiodianship of the business to both William and Samuel. However William bought Samuel's half and moved the business to a new brewery, next door, which is where John Smiths is now brewed, then leaving the business to his sister's sons. Meanwhile, Samuel's son Samuel Smith inherited the Old Brewery on William's death in 1886, and re-opened the brewery under his own name. He then ran it in competition with his cousins' business, John Smiths. Samuel Smith's remains independent, the only brewery in Tadcaster to do so.
