Addlestones
From Ukcider
Addlestones is a brand of industrial cider owned by Gaymer Cider Company Limited and is a subsidiary of C&C Group Plc.
About
It is a cask conditioned cider, made from apple concentrate, and therefore not a Real Cider by ukcider definitions. Certainly better than most factory produced keg ciders such as Strongbow and other Industrial cider but not in the same league as a freshly pressed, full juice, craft cider. It is commercially produced by Gaymers Cider Company who also make drinks such as Babycham, Blackthorn and Diamond White!
Their website says it is a "bright, golden, naturally cloudy cider with rich, bittersweet apple fruit flavours and a smooth, rounded finish. Addlestones is made using a unique recipe of locally sourced genuine bittersweet cider apples from Somerset and a double fermentation process which creates the Addlestones full-bodied taste. The unique Addlestones cloudiness is caused by the fact that Addlestones is fermented twice, and not filtered at any stage of the process - resulting in the presence of 'live' yeast and natural apple residue in the liquid. Addlestones is a genuine 'live' cider, constantly evolving, developing and shifting."
