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!

500 mL can from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a very pale straw yellow color with a thin fizzy head, appearing very much like a white wine. Aroma of tart pears, tannic notes and plastic. Taste is tart pears, apples, grapes, water. Thin and watery. Meh.

Water, almost no color, just a pale shade of yellow; no head. It has a cheap plastic aroma, warm plastic, light citrus fruits. It’s brewed with sugar and sweeteners, so actually it doesn’t have any apple flavor, but some citrus fruits touch and acidity (did they add also citrus chemicals?); also a light sweetener feeling. Quite bad, Jacob, quite bad.

Bottled. Golden colour with small sparkling white bubbly head, that disappears quickly. Aroma is sweet sugary ess with artificial notes of apple. Flavour is quite much the same with some rather unpleasant sweetness lurking as well.

Bottle. Hazy, pale gold with no head and slight carbonation. Sweet, spicy and synthetic dessert pear aroma. Sweet pear juice flavour, with some butterscotch lurking in the background, a touch of wood and medium sweet finish. Tolerable.

Can at MagicDave6’s gaff. This is so funny I can’t rate it. Chemically aroma. Just so poor. Apple fruit is very vague.

Yellowish water, with a suspicious artificial head. Fizzy, carbonated soda aroma, light fruitness. Sweetish flavor, with light fruits, more like a cheap soda than anything else. Bad.
