I bought this just to see what it was like. It's awful! It tastes a bit like fizzy Ribena but with a faint aniseed aftertaste that is just ghastly. I like real cider and perry and I think that it is a waste of either of them to turn them into this silly drink. Maybe some children would drink it...?It does not go with food and does not bear drinking on its own either.Sorry but the rest of the bottle goes straight down the drain.

Really it's a perry but a lot of people don't know what that is so the term Pear Cider was born! I decided to buy a bottle of this when out at my local one hot afternoon.

Living in Somerset one thing I had to get used to when I moved here was cider. Anyone and everyone (unless underage ahem lol!) drinks it from bottles to from casks and rough (unprocessed stuff from farm shops) and mulled (yep mulled cider is readily available in Cheddar Gorge and the likes!) there really is no escaping that here, drinking cider is the only way to go. Me though, well I'm not all that keen on apple ciders and never have been really. Pear cider though I love particularly Kopperberg and so recently when I spotted this Brothers strawberry and mixed pear bottle on offer for a pound a time in my local Tesco store I bought a couple and popped them in ...  Read the complete review
