Brothers Red Apple English Cider 4 Cans of 440 ml

Product Information

However, making cider is an incredibly considered process. Unlike beer making, the fermentation takes advantage of the natural sugars found in the apple. Beer relies on the conversion of starch from cereals such as barley a process that is undertaken in the brewery before the fermentation of beer. With apples the sugars are formed as the fruit ripens outside in the sunshine of the orchard. Our team at Brothers will make decisions that will determine the type of cider we create, including what kind of apples we will use. Britons are the world’s biggest consumer of cider per capita with fifty-six per cent of apples grown in the UK going to make cider. The West Country and Somerset is the most well-known region for growing apples and making all types of cider, including the still, strong tasting, cloudy traditional dry cider to the more popular bright, sparkling refreshing easy drinking ciders preferred by many. Apple and Pear Ciders have long been mixed with other fruits to provide a wide range of flavoured ciders. Apple Cider is naturally gluten-free and made from fermenting apple juice in a similar way to white wine, whereas beer is brewed from grains which are a source of gluten, hops and yeast. When choosing between beer or cider, for those with gluten sensitivity, Apple cider can be a better option.

Again, this isn't an easy question to answer. Because ciders can be still, naturally sparkling or carbonated, the first impact on the tongue can deliver a different first taste. Ciders can be fresh, crisp, tangy, sweet, bold or elegant, earthy or light – or a complex combination of all taste sensations and lingering after tastes. At Trafalgar Foods, we look to forge strong relationships with distributors in various countries who have a good knowledge of the type of products. We are currently working with Brother’s Cider to supply and distribute their quality Cider in many flavours. Cider comes in different varieties, including still, naturally sparkling, bottle-fermented, carbonated, dry, medium, and sweet cider, and it can be made from dessert and eating apples. Pears may also be used to produce Perry or Pear Cider as it is more commonly known these days. Vintage ciders and special reserves made from single orchards or single varieties are also popular. Cider is as diverse in its nature as grapes and Wine. The mix of cider apple varieties used account for the different flavours and tones found in the finished cider. Cider can mean different things to people. So, while it can taste sweetly of apples to one person, to someone else, they enjoy drinking cider for the sharp, acidic edge that pleasantly cuts through their thirst on a hot summers day.

Marc Charles, Global Commercial Director, said: “There has been a sharp increase in cider sales across the off-trade category over the past few months and the industry has done a great job in rising to the challenge to satisfy demand. Cider and beer taste very different to each other. Cider is made from apple juice which has its own characteristic flavour without the added bitterness from the hops. Beer derives its flavour more from the brewing process than the grains used and its some may find this less palatable than the crisp refreshment of a good cider. We also believe our ciders should be good in every way. This is why we have long term agreement with the grower to ensure our supply is responsibly sourced and is sustainable. Well-kept Cider Orchards are great for the environment and in particular our orchards are home to many species of wildlife, flora and fauna.

Cider is made from apple juice pressed from freshly harvested apples when in season. The fresh juice is slowly fermented and aged at the direction of the Cidermaker to give each cider its unique complexity and character, it is only ready to drink when the Cidermaker is happy with the quality of the batch. Still cider is served as it is but will always contain a level of natural level of residual carbon dioxide from the fermentation. Sparkling Ciders contain higher levels to give it a pleasurable fizz. Bottle conditioned ciders contain the highest levels of carbonation similar to sparkling wines. Whenever people are looking to buy cider today, they can have as much variety as when choosing a bottle of wine. Traditional cider is made from fresh pressed apple juice full of natural sugars which is left to ferment, similar to how wine was made using natural yeast.
