Sampford Courtenay Lightning Jack
White cider was invented in Devon as a premium cider. Made from the low tannin apple varieties native to the county. it is exceptionally strong if allowed to
ferment to dryness.
Sadly the large producers and supermarkets ruined white cider, using cheap foreign concentrate and artificial sweeteners giving white cider its “bus shelter” image.
While this reputation isn't entirely undeserved, we think it's rather unfair that the entire style has been maligned by it, so we have made Lightning Jack to represent "White cider as it should have been" and hope to reintroduce you to the original premium cider concept.
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 19th century - we have a tree thought to be one of the oldest Bramley trees in the UK!
8.0% ABV 750ml
