White cider was invented in devon, as a premium cider, made from the low tannin apple varieties native to the county. it was exceptionally strong if allowed to ferment to dryness. a clean & crisp, uncomplicated cider. lightning jack is made from bramley apples, a variety not thought of as Devonian, but grown here at Solland since the end of the 19th century. we have a tree thought to be one of the oldest Bramley trees in the UK.
Sadly the large producers and supermarkets ruined white cider using cheap foreign concentrate and glucose giving white cider its bad boy “bus shelter” image.
We hope that lightning Jack will re-introduce you to the enjoyment of the original premium cider concept.
