Alice - Medium Dry Cider 4.6% | Celtic Marches
- In stock, ready to ship
Smooth, mellow medium dry cider with a moreish sharpness and a slight tart finish. Gently sparkling, and made from homegrown Herefordshire apples.
Alice sits at the drier end of Celtic Marches' core range, a step drier than Thundering Molly but nowhere near as firm as the Abrahalls AD. The balance comes from the blending rather than from any one apple, and at 4.6% it is the easiest of the range to drink a second bottle of.
Crisp, well-rounded and lightly tart at the finish, with real cider apple character behind it. Made from their own fresh pressed fruit, never from concentrate. Celtic Marches have farmed their 200 acres of Herefordshire orchards for eight generations and grow, pick and press everything on site.

Serve cold, over ice if it is warm out. The lower strength and gentle sparkle make this the summer bottle of the range: good with fish and chips, a barbecue, or on its own in the garden.
