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!

Med Fridtjofen på slipp på Tau: flaske fra Gulating Stavanger, delt med skibsrederen og seremonimester Melberg: helt klar blek strågul, nesten fargeløs, og uten antydning til skumdannelse. Frisk kokos og lime slår mot meg, og jeg forstår hvorfor denne skaper svært delte meninger på rb. Kjempelett å helle innpå, selv om den nok blir for søt i lengden. Partytime?

Bottle shared with JMD and SM on board Fridtjofen at Tau slipp og båtbyggeri 31.08.17. Blank, with a hue of green and yellow. Small white head. Strong aroma of fresh coconut. Fine taste of fresh cocout, Bounty chocolate bar, cider and wine gum. Surprisingly good!

Can at home split with Sarah. Picked up from Morrisons. A clear pale yellow / burnt gold. fine fizz. Aroma is weird citrus, soapy lemon handwash, sickly sweet. Flavour is composed of sweet and tangy, sickly sweet, artificial apple, weird soapy citrus. Palate is medium sweet, highish carbonation, I don’t like it.

Bottle from Sainsbury’s, Keighley. Deep golden-orange coloured cider. There’s only a blast of apple in its flavour, but when it comes it’s quite sweet. It has a dryness otherwise.

330ml can from Morrisons. Clear golden colour with a thin rapidly dissipating white head. Aroma of ripe apples, floral hop resin. Taste mirrors the aroma, sweet ripe apples, floral notes from the hop extract. Light-medium bodied, fizzy carbonation. Sweetness could do with toning down a little as it’s borderline cloying, maybe some different hops could be used instead of extract... other than that a very enjoyable cider.

500ml bottle. Pours clear orange-brown, very toffee-like, no head. Aroma is unsurprisingly filled with sweet toffee and apple. Taste is sweet and rich, toffee, ripe apples, hints of spice, fudge. Medium body and a smooth creamy mouthfeel. Lovely flavours, my only complaint is the sweetness was a bit cloying drinking this on a hot Summer’s day, probably works better as a Winter cider. Honestly surprised at so many poor ratings for this.
