Description
Hello and welcome to Brothers Cider, the home of the original festival cider. We are Francis, Jonathan, Matthew and Daniel and for 14 generations, since 1658, when uncle Gabriel first sold his barrels around Wells, Shepton Mallet and Glastonbury, our family has strived to make light, refreshing ciders using a variety of fruit. We are constantly exploring new recipes and love to get your feedback on our latest creations.
We first started selling our Pear Cider at the Glastonbury Festival in 1995 near what was then called the Jazz World Stage. These days it is called The West Holts Stage but our bar is still in the same place. Over the years, festival goers kept asking us if it was possible to get our drink when the festival was over and so we decided to market it to pubs and supermarkets. Now you can get it all over the country and at other festivals besides Glastonbury. See you at the bar!

Can from Aldi Supermarket, Todmorden. Cloudy extremely pale yellow - looks a bit like dishwater given it's greying colour. The lemon is fairly sweet tasting in this cider, and stated in taste, and almost as much in its aroma.

Aus der Flasche im Loch Ness Pub Berlin 2022-04 getrunken. Dieses dunkelrote Cider kommt mit kräftigen Waldbeeren-Aromen daher. Leider wirkt es nicht harmonisch. Bis dann am Gaumen die extreme Süße die Balance zerstört. Für mich ist das nur fruchtiges Zuckerwasser was ja noch ganz gut duftet aber ich dann nicht trinken will.

Aus der Flasche im Loch Ness Pub Berlin 2022-04 getrunken. Bei diesen messingfarbenden Cider überrascht eine tolle Aromakombination aus Apfel und Karamell. Allerdings ist die Süße fast zu deutlich. Spannend, süß und lecker!

Aus der Flasche im Loch Ness Pub Berlin 2022-04 getrunken. Hier haben wir in der Nase einen hellroten flüssigen Erdbeerkuchen mit Sahne. Wunderbar! Allerdings am Gaumen erschlägt mich die Süße fast. Auch hier ist das tolle Aroma da, aber mehr als ein paar Schluck bekomme ich wegen der Süße nicht herunter. Schade das hier die Balance Aroma/Frucht/Säure und Süße für mich nicht paßt!

440m can from Home Bargains, Darlington. Sparkling, pinkish golden colour, short-lived bubbly white foam head and aroma of apple, apple skin, slight mucky underhint. Taste is sweet, juicy apple, red apple, with some tartness and light tannin. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, medium finish with residual sweetness. Quite OK

Bottle. Hazy orange-pink color with white head. Aroma is artificial custard, overwhelmingly candy. Taste is the same. Really, really meh.
