They have three ciders on draught, very unusual for pubs around here. They have Harry Sparrow (4.6%,) Stofford Press (4.5%), and Pheasant Plucker(4.5%). Pheasant Plucker is a tad sweet, Harry Sparrow very good for an Asphal cider, and Stofford Press is very fizzy. For three ciders that are nearly the same alcohol content they have very distinct flavors. I have had all three before and rate the Harry Sparrow the best of three unless I was treating someone new to ciders, then start them with PP and move on. I only drink Stowford Press when there’s nothing else on offer. It’s a bit generic.
