Grey Heron

Made from Redstreak and Dabinett cider apples from a single orchard. Hazy amber, with a lightly fruity aroma and copper tones. Tangy and sweet with a ripe apple character, and a little funk in the aftertaste. Pleasant and well-made. Found at the CAMRA Chelmsford Beer festival

Lovely medium sweet honeyed cider. Still with a slight haze. Drunk from bag in box at Lincoln Beer Festival. Slipped down too easily!

A very pleasant semi-sweet cider with a golden hazy characteristic. A mild fruit taste with sweet ripe tangy apple flavour with what i would describe as a slight caramel/toffee aftertaste. Very smooth and very drinkable.

Some really good flavours going on in this cider. Friend also got this and it was clear but mine was cloudy. So expect some variation with the batches. Some caramel notes add to the sweetness. Made apparently from Dabinett and red streak apples which is a lovely touch to have on the bottle. This is a nice sweet cider, which please t for this which normally prefer drier ciders.

Perry's Grey Heron (5.5% ABV, 500ml). Crafted from Redstreak and Dabinett apples from the company's Knowle St Giles orchard in Somerset. Hazy pale golden yellow colour. Strong farmyard funk in the aroma (hay, smoke, dung). On the palate, farmyard funk features strongly again, with slightly musty yellow apples, pear, and apple skins. Strong tannic bitterness in the finish and aftertaste, again with musty apples, funk, and apple skins. The Perry's ciders I've had so far are all good or better, and this one is no exception. Looks, smells and tastes like a real natural product. 8.5/10.

Under the nose this cider has hints of toffee, brown sugar and honey. The taste is very smooth with a slight bitterness and edge on first sip which then melts into a vanilla fudge style caramel river…very pleasant. The aftertaste has the hints of the farmyard and earthy orchard. The length is pretty long and very satisfying. It’s sweet, yes but with a dryness on first sip that mellows into a lovely sweet flowing cider. Goes down very well. The slight dryness will keep you sipping and at 5.5%ABV you can afford to. This cider has a mild fizz which adds to the complexity and thick depth of this blend with a decent medium body. The colour is hazy and golden, like a decent sunrise and it’s definitely a cider that I would buy again. The taste is a tad watery, but it doesn’t detract too much from this single orchard blend of Redstreak and Dabinett apples. It’s another really decent Somerset cider that I would happily buy again. A real decent effort. 4/5 purely because of the slight watery taste and I know I’m probably being harsh!

Was fortunate to have this at Perry’s tasting room and to get a bottle back with me in the US to share with friends. II’ll admit that I still rank the Tremlett as my favorite but I do enjoy this one as well. It has the body and astringency you’d expect from a West Country Cider but also a nice touch of residual sweetness. A little cloudy and a little funk at the end but definitely worth finding if you like a cider with body and especially if you’re in the mood for something a little sweet.

Cloudy with some sediment, unusual. Sweet with some fizz, not bad though. I could drink more.
