Cap o' Liberty Cider Juice

A Rare English Bittersharp, Pressed and Ready

Cap o' Liberty is one of the lesser-known gems of the English cider apple tradition — a bittersharp variety that rewards the cidermaker with a juice of genuine character. Firm in tannin and lively in acidity, it produces a cider with real bite and structure, bright enough to lift a blend and complex enough to stand on its own as a single varietal. It's the kind of variety that serious cidermakers seek out precisely because so few others have it.

Pressed at The Orchard Point Prim and immediately quick frozen in 10L aseptic tetra-bags, every bag captures the variety at its peak. Our test batches confirm the juice can be used up to 12 months after its press date with no degradation in flavour — ferment it now or hold it until your next batch is ready.
