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!

Bottled. A golden cider with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of toffee, apples, and spices - mainly cardemomme - a weird aroma. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of toffee as well as medium notes of alcohol, apples, and spices - here it’s cinnamon - again pretty weird. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle, 4.0%. The aroma is citric at first, and then comes a toffee note. Clear pale yellow colour. No head. The same goes for the flavour, it starts off like a standard crap "cider" and then comes a faint toffee note.

500ml can, as pictured. Clearish yellow non-color, light white wine. Some fizzy carbonation bubbles. Sugary green apple and pear aroma. Ridiculously poundable, light and easy body, not much depth. An odd sourness, probably the added acid, gives the beer a slightly harsh feel, killing any natural pear feel. I love the idea of a pear cider, but this is pretty weak.
