Description
If you feel that real farmhouse cider can only be made on a farm, by a farmer, then Hartland Cider is for you. This small family operation is based in North Gloucestershire was started by local farmer Ray Hartland at Flat Farm on the outskirts of Staunton. When the council refused to transfer the tenancy to Ray's son Dereck, the family moved their farming and cider making to nearby Tirley Villa farm.

From a polypin at the Seven Stars, Bristol29/06/10. Pale gold with slight carbonation. Juicy, pear aroma with a slight whiff of fartiness. Very easy drinking for the ABV, with lingering pear flavours, a touch of syrupy sweetness and some rough skin tannins in the finish. Enjoyable.
