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!

Relativ süßer Antrunk, wie Apfelschorle bei 70% Frucht. Dabei neben Apfel auch deutlich nach Birne, dagegen ist der versprochene Hopfen kaum erkennbar. Spritzig, langer süßlich birniger Nachhall. 6/9/9/8/8/8

500ml bottle. Cloudy dirty orange colour with no head. Aroma and taste of light sweet fermented apples, moderate bitter. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Nice and refreshing but the appearance looked more dirty than ’cloudy’ to me.

Clear, light golden. Small white head. Toffee, apple pie aroma. Similar flavour, sweet, some vanilla. Not bad for an apple pie soda, but not very exciting either.

500ml bottle. Clear pale colour with a slightly greenish tint like wine, no head. Aroma of sweet lime with coconut. Taste of lime and coconut in equal parts, well balanced, neither overpower it, nice sweet pear base underlying those flavours. Light body, soft carbonation, smooth. An excellent perry, very refreshing and easy drinking.

Bottle shared by Thompson. Clear golden color, quickly disappearing white head. Smell and taste pear, sweetness, lightly sugar. Oh well, a nice drinkable lemonade.

Bottle shared by Thompson. Well cloudy indeed. And for the rest it’s simply bitter lemon albeit a bit on the sweet side. Nicely refreshing though.
