have you tasted it? Just asking as you didn’t say, I haven’t either so I’ve no idea whether its shite or not. Couldn’t give a monkeys who makes it, it’s all about the taste (that sounds like it might be some products tag lines, any ideas?)
I’ve always drunk cider one of the very few alchoholic beverages I can stomach, but even with cider there’s only a few that I like. Strongbow, westons, stowford press, thatchers* are all ok, like some french ciders, some perrys (perries?) don’t like a lot of the new stuff tho and the red fruit ones just seem weird. I like some scrumpy, don’t think I’ve tried and of the hardcore stuff people are talking about tho.
What’s the deal with ice in cider? is that a “water it down to get the lager drinkers on board” tactic or is it a tradition in some places? Can’t be doing with nu-style cider with ice myself, if I wanted to drink watered down pish I’d drink lager like everyone else 😉
*thachers do some pear cider at about 9% don’t they? 750ml bottle too, tastes lovely but pure rocket fuel.
