Show Notes
Steve Garwood and daughter Anne Garwood Hampp are the mastermind duo at Ragged Hill Cider based in West Brookfield, Massachusetts.
They brought a selection of bottles to taste through and we started with the Baldwin.
"Body gives you a perception of fullness and sweetness" is how Steve Garwood describes the Baldwin, which is a Pet Nat cider ringing in a 7% alcohol by volume.
Says Steve Garwood, "It is a business reason for us to make ciders that will improve in time."
Anne Garwood Hampp, Louise and Steve Garwood.
