Yes, try some real cider.

The trouble is that many folk who like cider as in the mass produced/flavoured variety often find a pint of proper cider not to their taste.

I find the bottled cider (whoever makes it) is like drinking liquid sugar. Very sickly.
I know this will be frowned upon, but, I'd prefer Strongbow.

Remember a few years back I was in a village pub in Devon.
They had a cider on tap called Madam Rosies XXXX cider and the abv was stated as ?. I had a couple of pints of it and it was quite pleasant, went to the bar for another and was warned by the barman to take it easy, being a bit of a dick I went on to drink another 4 pints of it.
Woke up the next morning in a hedge on a countru lane about 3 miles from the village withno recollection of getting there and a brutal hangover.
Word of advice, if someone warns you off home brewed cider then it pays to listen.

I stayed in Reading over the weekend of the Millwall "friendly" and we ended up in a wee country pub called The Cider House, IIRC it was just outside Caversham, they had different concoctions of Cider/Scrumpy called Hand Grenade, Depth Charge etc, the final outcome was much the same! :-)

Any type you get from the side of roads in Somerset. Cloudy, bits floating in it and tasty.

We get some properly lovely ciders down here - nought more refreshing after a long day's work than a nice pint of local press!
Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

The bottles fruity ones taste great but I need to stop after 1/2 cause it gets a bit sickly. From there it's Strongbow or Henry Westons.
HW is currently on offer in Scotmid I've been told. £1.50 and it's 9%.Mon the Hibs.

Drink old Rosie and adnams ale when visiting my dad in Sussex. They are ok.
Edit: cannot remember what adnams brand cider was called - not been there for a while!Last edited by Wilson; 18-07-2013 at 04:41 PM.

Is Strongbow a cider? Never seen an apple in its puff. The flavoured bottle ones are excellent for a hangover, Bulmers 17 being my favourite. Slightly off topic, whats everyones thought on Jeremiah Weed? Thats a nice drink, can only have a couple IMO.

Strongbow is fine, will happily drink pint after pint in the pub.
I do liek the koperbergs and rekorderlings but only 1 or 2 bottles as i find it pretty sweet and sickly.
henry westons is a nice cider, especially when on offer in tesco
Im not a fan of magners but dont mind bulmers or cidre.
I tried a new cider the other night but cant mind the name, somthing thistle i think it was, it was nice would recomend it.
Dark fruits strongbow was rank, tasted flat.
I hated cider growing up and tended to stay o nthe buckfast or MD (i know i know) so I dont have any bad experiences on the stuff yet, so id still happily drink blackthorn or woodpecker.
Also I tried the merrydown with berries and was rather refreshing.
and to answer your question, I tried 2 flavours of that jerimiah weed, I liked one more than the other but cant remeber which one, but I did enjoy them if not for the heartburn.
I suppose I can take from this analsys is I will drink anythign really

Very old thread but need help form you cider drinkers. Never been a big fan always the bitter aftertaste that got me but I’m just back from Portugal and has some Sommersby cider and it changed my life!!
Stuff was amazing tasted like Appletiser with no bitter aftertaste. I believe it’s made by Carlsberg but it’s not widely available in the UK and the stuff they make here is slightly different.
Anything drinkers able to recommend similar ciders available here?

The wife loves her cider. She prefers Henry Westons, but will drink Scrumpy Jack, or Aspalls too.
She doesn't like any of the fruit ciders as they're too sweet and 'not real cider' as she says.

Need to investigate that.
Lidl do a cider for a bit less in a bottle which is made by HW, worth a look, although I can't remember the name of it off top of my head.

Thatchers do some nice ciders. If I’m having a pint in the pub I always go for that.

One demijohn produces 9 x 500 ml bottles of around 6% abv cider
I love tweaking the recipes to suit my own tastes and its very enjoyable
Give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised at the outcome ;-)
