brothers strawberry cider

[blackie_2k5]

the strawberry pear cider, anyone tried this? just had a mouthfull, its amazing!

just like strawberry pop. ive wanted to try it for ages but the thought of strawberry cider puts me right off, particularly as im not really a cider drinker, anyone else like it?

*cue the cool story cunt etc :y:

[D--R--E--W]

Kopparberg is by far better

[craig180]

Love it. Also love the Tutti frutti flavour they do because I'm a big girl

Have to say though, my favourite is Rekorderlig mixed fruit

[blackie_2k5]

i LOVE kopparberg drew...but this REALLY is just like pop :p

ill have to try that tbh craig, if its anything like this i might have 2 new drinks :D

[Toms112]

Rekorderlig is a preference if there is no Kopparburg or a nice pint of proper cider like Westons or Perrys not this strongbow/magners bullshit.

[Ryan]

It's faggots cider.

Stowford/aspalls/thatchers

Because I don't drink fairies cider ;)

[MrChris]

Bought this on offer coz i tried a mouthful of my mates when i was on beer (tasted so nice)

Its not all its cracked up to be tbh... after 4 its so sickly and only 4%

Your better off on normal pear at 7% lol

[blackie_2k5]

i think ill stick to a box of bud.. with a couple of these to wash it down before bed ;)

if im out i probs wont drink it at all.... generally full of brown ale if im out :p

[tweeqd]

Rekorderlig strawberry is the best of the fruity ones but cant beat stowford press

[ed-bradley]

Tutti fruity is the Don.

I won a case of it a while back, I've been hooked on Brothers cider for a couple of years now. Just a shame not many places sell it, and I get ashamed when I ask for it in a bar/pub, so I always order a pint of stella aswell to balance out the gayness.

No i didnt have to check. I know that cheshire is near manchester as ive been there enough and thus north. Joking aside from the usual watford gap, its past birmingham.

The link was amusing 'southern meeting'

:clapping:

[tweeqd]

Couldnt think of anywhere worse to go than being surrounded by people who cant use english ;)

At least digital has the odd strong line up.

[blackie_2k5]

hark at the tonbridge accent ;)

tbf it could be worse, im sure you much rather be stuck in a room with a geordie then.. a mackem, a scouser, or a brummy :panic:

imagine getting stuck in a lift with a scouser shouting "calm down calm down" :A:

One of my room mates when I was with my sponsors was a mackem, he spoke better english than most geordies I know :hug:

scouser - id rather die lol

[ed-bradley]

When I was at Glastonbury, they had a Bar there selling all sorts of Flavours..

Toffee apple is actually alright tbh.

[bristol_stevie]

[blackie_2k5]

[Ryan]

Strongbow is massively over sweetened.

[Sophia_Bush]

haha there is a cider called black rat!! how brilliant is that!!

brown ale = me smashed pretty fast

edit - strongbow is just weak piss tried some a while back and well it didn't taste of anything

[blackie_2k5]

i used to like strongbow years ago, tastes like vinegar to me now, same as woodpecker...guess its just abuse when your young and you realise how rotten/sickly it is

gav we need a brown ale session :D

[JamesR]

Strongbow is massively over sweetened.

Not as bad as this new fancy crap, used to like Bulmers but it tastes too bland now lol

[bristol_stevie]

black rat and red eye are killers cheddar valley is bright orange no fizz at all

[Ryan]

bulmers has a better taste than strongbow. Neither are great ciders but strongbow is the worst of any of the pump ciders though. Its cheap and cheerful like fosters/carling.

[Ryan]

black rat and red eye are killers cheddar valley is bright orange no fizz at all

You tried savanna dry?

Wow has it got a taste like theyve mixed cleaning chemicals in with it.

Green goblin has er an interesting taste too.

[Sophia_Bush]

must make list of all this stuff to try/buy

yes andy brown ale session guarantee I will pass out on your floor

ps ryan party 2 days no sleep sounds win

What's your poison cider wise then? :homme:

[Ryan]

One to try

Stowford press
kingston press (for the money has a few units per bottle)
thatchers gold
aspalls (several varieties the pump stuff is more natural to most peoples palet)

out of the bigger brands id also say give stellas cidre' a go.

[Ryan]

+1

Thatchers gold is also very nice

also natch is the new strongbow\blackthorn

[Viper]

Brothers is the sweetest of them all. It's like drinking a Strawberry flavour cordial or something! Still nice though, as is the toffee apple flavour.

Tomorrow I'm getting a box of Rekorderlig from a mate. Half mixed fruits and half strawberry/lime.

Om nom nom nom nom!!!

[Ryan]

+1

Thatchers gold is also very nice

Thatchers and stowford rock. Shame most shit pubs only have 'bow' on pump...

Thankfully most of the art pubs here have an idea and stock decent beers/ciders

[Ryan]

stella cidre'

Havn't tried that yet, any good?

i said to try it.

Its not as gassy compared to some ciders (certainly not when you think about stellas beer). Very crisp taste.

[bristol_stevie]

Wow has it got a taste like theyve mixed cleaning chemicals in with it.

Green goblin has er an interesting taste too.

taste rank imo

old Rosie is nice

[Viper]

Strongbow is massively over sweetened.

What the fuck? I would never even consider describing Strongbow as even a little sweetened!

[Ryan]

its like drinking a fecking wkd.

[Ryan]

Yeah savana isnt good, glad i gave it a test before ordering a crate.

Now cider is fashionable so much shit on the market. :wall:

The westons brand have a few not so bad ciders/perrys though.

[Viper]

its like drinking a fecking wkd.

It really isn't... Cidre is considerably sweeter than Strongbow. Strongbow is the least sweet out of the generic brands!

You know fuck all Ryan

[Ryan]

It really isn't... Cidre is considerably sweeter than Strongbow. Strongbow is the least sweet out of the generic brands!

You know fuck all Ryan

Its a dry cider, but also has a fuck load of sweetener in there. I had to drink some on monday and it was horrendous

[bristol_stevie]

oh dear god strongbow is laughed at by anybody who enjoys a proper cider
its full of sweeteners and gas

been drinking cider 15+ years

ask anyone in the westcountry about strongbow its cack

[bristol_stevie]

strongbow contains 26g sugar per pint !!

[Viper]

Fuck what the farmers think about it, i KNOW it's crap! I hate the fact its the only cider wetherspoons and other generic pubs have on. Its ridiculous!

[Ryan]

Spoons have on the menu stowford/thatchers. Most dont actually sell it though as its seen as too expensive by most spoons pikeys.

[blackie_2k5]

Its a dry cider, but also has a fuck load of sweetener in there. I had to drink some on monday and it was horrendous

took the words out of my mouth, its very sweet, but its a dry cider so it hides the effect really, makes it taste "sour"

EDIT- gav, brown ale session ahoy...you can pass out on the floor:y:, so long as your not blocking to route to the fridge or the toilet :D

It may well he sweetened but it definitely doesn't taste sweet, which is what i meant. As blackie said, sour is a good description!

[Ryan]

Most of the time the first sip of strongbow is like stuffing a handful of haribo sourz into your mouth lol.

Its britains best selling cider, I wonder if the fact no fucker sells good cider and the fact is so cheap helps that stat.

[Viper]

I just looked through the wiki page and noticed it saying it's the set selling cider and thought exactly the same as you. Its clearly because no fucker sells anything else!!

[blackie_2k5]

It may well he sweetened but it definitely doesn't taste sweet, which is what i meant. As blackie said, sour is a good description!

vinegar is a better description, the only cider to be so close to wine its unreal :fcuk:

may just be my taste buds are dead to stuff like that now...or because of stuff like that?..can never really be sure any more :drink:

one thing's certain, its fucking awful

[Sophia_Bush]

bow is like a rotting corspe in piss

I dont know anyone bar a certain scouser on here who actually likes it.

Most people think its shit and tastes rank, perhaps I should go and find some council estate dwellers and see whats so appealing about it :boxing:

Edit : look what i found on facebook lol
The mighty Westons have recently released a brand new product!!! Cider Ice!
Top scientists working in a secret underground location (possibly!) have found a way of merging the childhood favourite the 'Slush Puppie' with fine Hereford apples to produce a Cider that you can eat with a fork!!! (Don't worry, you can drink it too!) Furthermore, unlike Bulmers or Magners (aka Shite) the 'ice' is in fact super-chilled cider so even when it melts you've not watered down your pint!!
Cider Ice, available at the mighty Beehive in Cheltenham and selected other stockists, is quite simply the best thing EVER! Go and buy some IMMEDIATELY!!

i used to love cider, gone are the days ;) can still drink a good cider if im drunk, strongbow id be sick in a mouthfull i think

[1991Tom]

By law its not actually a cider more than a brand name. Along with Kopperberg its a Alcopop I.E its got chemicals and other shit mixed in it to appeal to a target audience.

[jw1325]

It is AMAZING.

I love it.

My mate also had 'Thistle' Strawberry Cider - its even sweeter and and even better
