Little Pomona Orchard & Cidery
Fom Little Pomona: still, dry barrel aged cider Somerset Redstreak is an apple characterised by its top notes of juicy, bright citrus fruit and slightly green tannins. We were lucky to be able to purchase this apple, all handpicked, from Albert and Mike Johnson at Broome Farm in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire. We didnt set out to make a single variety. Those high notes are great but often without the bass, things are never really complete. As always our approach was simple, we pressed into tank and left the juice to ferment spontaneously. Post fermentation we racked into three ex-Chardonnay barrels and left them to rest for nearly eight months. During this time the cider evolved in an interesting way, the oak acting to flesh out and broaden the liquid without altering its essential character. In the end we retained, actually increased its mouth-watering juiciness, as well as softening the tannins and bringing on board some sweeter, vinous elements from the oak to create something lovely, fresh, delicious and complete. Enjoy cool not cold. Gluten free. Vegan friendly. No added sulphites. 6.7% abv

Fom Little Pomona: lightly sparkling, deft barrel influence Cidermakers spend a lot of time thinking about fruit and therefore harvest. This cider was borne of that. 2019 was a difficult vintage, a cool summer and worse in the autumn, with extensive rains and serious flooding. Ruthless fruit selection on our part meant we made less cider than wed hoped for, but we are very proud of what we did make, We are calling this cider Harvest and it brings together the best of 2019 after time in barrel. Unsurprisingly it favours the early variety Browns Apple (60%), ripe before the rains came, with the addition of three classic late season varieties Yarlington Mill, Dabinett and Harry Masters Jersey in roughly equal proportions, and then bottle conditioned. The fresh, citrus vibe of Browns Apple tames any overt sense of the barrels and lifts the intense fruit richness of the late season apples. In the end its bright, juicy and full of ripe fruit. Its fully reminiscent of the tastes, smells and feelings of warm orchard days and the long shadows of harvest time. Drink cold. Not frozen. Gluten free. Contains naturally occurring sulphites 7% abv

Little Pomona Orchard & Cidery
Fom Little Pomona: bottle conditioned ciderkin with hops Made with the second pressing of apples with the addition of spring water, this is our modern interpretation of the old historic drink, ciderkin. Here we used the dessert apple Egremont Russet, spontaneously fermented in tank on top of apple lees. Later on we infused with whole Chinook hops, grown by our friends here at Brook House Farm, before bottle conditioning. Originally from the Pacific North West, Chinook has happily made its home in the Herefordshire countryside. With its grapefruit and pine freshness, it sits beautifully with the bassier baked apple and nutty notes of the Egremont Russet. Combined they make for a breezy, bright glass of fruit, flowers and herbs that could, and possibly should, be crushed all day long! Naturally low in alcohol, its a super-refreshing, thirst-slaking drink in which all the grapefruit, pine and gentle bitterness of the hops meets the bold spiciness of russet apples! This re-creation of ciderkin, an old drink of agriculture, is designed to slake a thirst and does this well. Bar snacks are also perfect though, as are glorious salads, vegetarian fare and herby fish and chicken dishes. Contains naturally occurring sediment. Store upright, chill well and pour quickly. Vegan friendly. Gluten free. No added sulphites 4% abv

Little Pomona Orchard & Cidery
Fom Little Pomona: wild ferment bottled as pét nat From gnarly old trees in a hundred-year old hill top orchard, we handpicked a quarter ton of Shropshire Prune damsons. To capture the wonderful aromatics, we carbonically macerated these along with some Thorn and Hendre Huffcap perry pears for four weeks, before pressing them and running the juice into barrels to ferment spontaneously. Later on we added more freshly pressed perry pear juice, this time from three French varieties, plus the juice of 40kg of that historic gem, the medlar, and bottled it. The result? An incredibly attractive and astonishlingly aromatic, sparkling fruit bomb summer pudding in a glass! Both a little different and a lot special - please chill it well and pour it fast. Honestly, it can be a little frisky! Gluten free. Contains naturally occurring sulphites

Fom Little Pomona: Dry, still cider Egremont Russet is one of the great cider apples but few think of it in that context. We took these beautiful apples, fully ripe from a great growing season, milled and macerated them before pressing and fermenting spontaneously in tank. Towards the end of fermentation, we moved the nascent cider into ex-white burgundy barrels to mature on the fine lees for eight months, before blending and bottling, still without additions. This has emerged as wine-like as cider can be. Pale yellow with green highlights, it has a very attractive nose of stone fruits, sweet apple and subtle nuttiness. Its pristine and clear, glossily textured in the mouth and laden with ripe melon and kiwi fruit, freshly cut yellow apples, hints of aniseed and green mountain herbs, and a distinct nut skin note to the finish. Drink cold, but not too cold. No added Sulphites. Gluten free. Vegan friendly 8.4% abv

Alcohol-free Pale Ale. A delight for the senses, this beer delivers on all levels. Rosy floral aromas are immediate as you pour, with a light and limey citrus bite on the palate and a balanced but obvious bitterness to finish.

Alcohol-free IPA. This IPA radiates citrus fruit from the moment you pour it to the second you finish that last sip with a satisfied sigh. The bright, sharp twist of bitterness on the end makes you want to dive back in for one more.

Alcohol-free Stout. Forget the notion this is a beer style that has had its day. Instead, think of it as honeycomb covered in chocolate, because that?s exactly what it tastes like: rich, unctuous and an absolutely decadent treat of a beer.
