Jeremy Clarkson’s rare new Hawkstone Hedgerow Cider reviewed

The pair have become an entertaining duo having starred in three seasons of Clarkson’s Farm since the show’s release in 2021.

Documenting life on Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, the hit Prime Video show is now filming its fourth season.

One major theme throughout the series is the production of alcohol by Jeremy and Kaleb under the banner brand Hawkstone.

The former Top Gear host has backed the production of Hawkstone Lager whereas his co-star has instead been behind Hawkstone Cider.

Now a brand new cider drink has been created by the team but it is currently very hard for the public to get a hold of.

Hawkstone Hedgerow Cider consists of a mixture of apples, blackcurrants and blackberries all sourced from the Oxfordshire farm.

Served in a stylish bottle with a shiny purple and pink label, the drink has caught the attention of fans but many have been unable to taste it yet.

The cider is currently on pre-order on the Hawkstone website with a crate of 12 bottles priced at £35.

“Made with freshly pressed juice from British apples, just like our signature cider,” reads the Hawkstone website.

“But here’s the twist: we’ve also blended in delicious juice from British-farmed blackcurrants and blackberries.

“The bold, fruity flavours are perfectly balanced with a crisp, clean and refreshing finish.

“Perfect for summer drinking and berry f*****g good.”

Despite it not being released yet online, Clarkson’s Farm fans can get a taste of the drink if they are willing to travel to Diddly Squat Farm.

The bar housed inside the barn is now serving pints of Hawkstone Hedgerow Cider on draught but the drink is not stocked at Diddly Squat Farm Shop next door.

We travelled to the farm last weekend to try the new cider and after queuing for 15 minutes for the bar, we got our hands on a glass.

The drink is reminiscent of other dark berry ciders such as Strongbow Dark Fruit and Old Mout Cider but with a special twist.

It is heavier than those other ciders which are a lighter drink in comparison and the taste of the blackcurrants and blackberries is more vivid too.

With other Hawkstone drinks available on draught it is easy for this latest addition to fly under the radar but it was a standout on the day and perfect for fans wanting to get an early taste.

The trip out to Chipping Norton was well worth it and it is safe to say that the designated driver was sad that he missed out on a pint.
