Title: Real Cider #6
Post by: TeaLeaf on September 21, 2016, 08:07:24 AM
Over the next two weeks we'll be posting up the nine sponsored real ales or real ciders which will appear at the LAN for your enjoyment at a scrumptious £1.50 per pint.  This is the sixth post in the series.

This is the first of our sponsored ciders and this one is an absolute belter!

REAL CIDER #6

3 Peace Sweet by Harding

Sponsored by: RogueTaylor
Thank you RogueTaylor!

Harding is a Cambridgeshire cider maker and so is a relatively local drink for the Oliver Cromwell hotel.  3 Peace Sweet was created as a WW1 Centenary Edition and is 7.5% ABV.   It was styled for those who prefer a sweeter cider following an exclusive tasting session at the  Hog and Partridge in St Neots.   This refreshing brew will appeal to those cider drinkers more accustomed to commercial cider (we know who you are, Magners lovers!). Described by the CAMRA judges as ‘Possessing and aroma of ripe dessert apples’ they commented that ‘it is a truly appley cider and has a flavour thats fresh and summery, with plenty of crisp bite.’

3 Peace Sweet is Harding's biggest success to date and it surprised by taking the CAMRA National Champion Cider Gold award for 2016!

A good choice and a very tasty drink. I forgot it was 7.5% so might need to be a little careful :g:

Cheers Rogue for this

It is DAMNED sweet! Like you, I prefer dry cider but I found this eminently drinkable at the GBBF!!

Anyway, stay tuned. You never know what's coming round the corner!

Good man Rogue, I will attempt a half of cider here and there, not my normal tipple but I know the selection we'll have is special.

No worries all i just wanted everyone to enjoy and i know there a few "cider drinkers" and for allowing me to be here a whole year and not getting rid of me :D .I imagine it will be a nice little cider to have to get rid of the taste of all that bitter other people have brought.

One day toby you will spell my name right and not think of me as the bat off sonic ;)

hope you all enjoy this at the LAN. It should be nice and easy to get little jelwelz on this aswell which is always fun... since he plays even better drunk ;P
