Description
Gladstone Cider is based in Loughborough,

Leicestershire. It is a small concern started by Damian Doherty and Andrew Hambleton, two people with a passion for cider. Their aim has always been to produce a cider in the most natural way possible. The cider is naturally fermented with the wild yeast on the fruit, and always made from 100% freshly pressed apples with no added sugars or water.

500ml bottle from Beer Revolution, Hay on Wye. Pours hazy orange with sour used plasters aroma. Taste is sour, sweet with some sulphur and farmhouse fruit, but the sourness does distract from the fruit somewhat. Ok.
