Three Hammers is a strong white cider[1] made in Tiverton, Devon, by the Devon Cider Company. It is named after a small village near Tiverton. White cider is made from eating apples rather than from traditional cider apples. This produces a naturally very pale cider as it is the tannin in cider apples that gives cider its golden colour.
The strength and cheapness of this and similar white ciders have made them subject to calls for higher taxation to reduce the potential for abuse. In 2006 a litre of Three Hammers could be bought for £1.19, cheaper by volume than a bottle of Perrier water at 99p for 75 cl.[2]
