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!

From the box at Knights Templar. Tangy sour apple nose. Pastel yellow with a nice head. Sweet-and-sour flavor, lactic and a bit lambic like. Nice—a bit too sweet, but interesting and good.

Bottled. A light golden perry. The aroma is dominated by pears. The flavor is sweet with notes of pears, leading to a very slightly tart finish.

Originally rated November 2006. Purchased at the LCBO, my first pear cider. There was another William’s Sir Perry from the US, but this is not the one. This one from England, pours a clear very light yellow colour with the usual cider bubbly small head that disappears fast. The pear smell is mild, with a butternut aroma sticking out. Watery mouthfeel with a slight tart. The taste is not too sweet and does not have the metallic flavour that many ciders have. A little grainy with the pear juice taste. Quite nice and refreshing. A good alternative to apple ciders.
