Ciders
Mothership
Brewery: Ascension Cider
Medium Still Cider, 6%, V LF GF
This cider was our second blend. We had a great run of sales with Pilot, but we had some folks asking for something a little drier, a little stronger and with more wild bite, thus, Mothership was born. Made using the same techniques as Pilot, but with a reduced amount of apple juice, we were able to both increase the dryness, strength and hit of wild cider that was being asked for by our fans. The name comes from a song by Enter Shikari. This was the song Matt listened to constantly in his Mum’s shed when making cider for personal consumption, so it seemed fitting to honour it in this way.
Dance Commander
Brewery: Ascension Cider
Sour Cherry & Cider, 3.4%
​Sour cherries, wild cider and fresh braeburn juice. What’s not to like?! This tangy and fruity beast was blended and packaged without a name in May 2019. Loved the flavour and the battle between sharpness and fruity sweetness, but just couldn’t think of a name. That evening we headed to Lewes, to see Electric Six at the Con Club. After thoroughly enjoying the smooth rock n roll, it was decided that the cider had to be named Dance Commander. A pump clip was designed upon my return home, the edits were done the next morning (with a bit of a sore head) and the design was at the printers by noon.
Mess with the Honk
Brewery: Ascension Cider
Gooseberry & Cider, 3.4%
Over a third of a ton of Gooseberries gave up their classic tart and tangy juice, before being blended with soft and sweet Golden Delicious apple juice, and vinous and rich Bramley and Russet cider, an absolute delight for the summer.
Six in the Mix
Brewery: Ross on Wye Cider & Perry
Dry Still Cider, 5.8%, V LF, GF
​Complex, full bodied cider. Harry Masters Jersey, Ashton Brown Jersey, Somerset Redstreak, Ashton Bitter, Sweet Coppin and Reinette d'Obry. Made from cider blended across three vintages, this luscious cider invites you to sip after sip with it's juicy, yellow fruit acidity and firm tannic finish. Intense and yet smooth, playful and yet sophisticated. A real delight!
