Aspall's is to cider (forget the y) what Sancerre is to white wine.
It is made in Suffolk, it is light and appley, it is crisp and dry, it is PROFOUNDLY alcoholic.
In Aldeburgh, and other reputable Suffolk towns and villages, (and the Green Man on Riding House Street, W1) I can get Aspall's on draft and if I'm lucky they put it in a special glass. I do love a special glass.
It goes beautifully with fish. And fishfingers. And everything else.
Forget Magners and other wannabes. You're either on Diamond White, and are about to be dead, or you know about Aspall's. I drank something the other day that tasted like boiled down cider-flavoured ice lollies. Yuck.
It will make you very pissed though. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Happy Friday.
