Having finally given in to pressure to produce a sweeter cider, 'The Medium One', a traditionally made medium cider, was trialled in 2012.

Blended from 50% dessert apples and 50% cider varieties, this cider was created in the Hampshire style and had both acid and tannin with a fruity flavour. The sweetening, by sucralose, rounded off any roughness at the edges - both tannin and acid were more tamed and soft.

The fruit for The Medium One came from both Hill Farm in Hampshire and from Rogers Orchards in Dorset.

The cider was pressed during November and December of 2012 and blended during fermentation (using natural yeast).
