cidy Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Been back for a while now, read that company that now owns the old Taunton cider have issues with new Taunton cider about using the name natch. Used to love natch back in the day of flagons also specialvat was good. Just before factory shut back in the 90s they were making a still cider called Somerset leveller which was fantastic, sadly never saw commercial release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilton digger Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hecks as you know is in Street. Moons are more or less opposite the Apple Tree pub just before site when coming from Glastonbury. They put a sign by the turning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can taste the sweeteners which utterly ruined what should be a natural product. I know they're highly thought of, but I really didn't like them.

Comfy Bean Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Was on a big boat to Ireland through the week and they were selling 24 330ml cans of Orchard Thief cider for £8. With our minimum pricing up here that was for sure a bargain….and I thought it went down very well ice cold in the sun 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately many cider makers use sweeteners as adding sugar tends to restart fermentation which can push the alcohol content up into the next vat bracket. It's one of the reasons I stick to dry cider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only sweetener I have ever 'got on with' is stevia. Coke used to do a sugar free version using stevia in a green can which I actually quite liked, sadly they withdrew it from the UK market for some reason.
