:o

good to hear, hopefully it's enjoyed!

Bought some drinks tonight. Did a variety because most of it was pretty cheap and I wanted to try various types.

Kopparberg Apple: Nice, I rate it.

Not cider, but Stones Ginger Beer. Always liked Ginger Beer, even when I was a kid with the non-alcoholic stuff so this was a nice flavour.

Koppaberg Elderberry & Lime: Wasn't a fan at first, but seemed quite unique. Wouldn't buy it again but wasn't bad.

Castaway: Bought it because it was cheap as shit, and it tasted like it. Bland, more like beer, crap aftertaste. Never buying it again.

OK, now that I have had 7 of them I feel comfortable reviewing The B Cider Companys TWO PINK LADIES

It's a very good first effort, and was well worth the investment. The crisp sharp mouth feel is exactly what I look for in a cider, although I feel like the clean apple flavour was missing. The high alcohol content helps!

I'll be honest, the first bottle I had was warm out of the box and only poured over ice and really not that pleasant.
The 6 I drank tonight was after 24 hours of refrigeration and much improved.

I tried one new one just now. Bilpin Apple. At first I was like "what the fuck is this shit" but it's not too bad after going through a bit more.

My favourite so far is Kopparberg. The only new one I have that I haven't tried is strongbow and it's reputation precedes it so I'm not expecting much.

tasted the strong bow, was ok . need to try monteith

If you don't like beer like myself, once you've tried some of the more pricey ciders, you'll never ever go back to Strongbow unless you're at a restaurant and that's all they have. So so average.

Honestly, most of the time I'd rather drink Strongbow than Koppaberg or Rekorderlig's glorified cordial.

If you're digging the Ginger Beer, get onto Lick Pier. For mine, it's the best ginger beer on the market.

Glorified cordial <3

strongbow. not as bad as i thought it would be.

my sisters boyfriend bouht over some sotherby, in a can, not bad.

so from the local bottlo i'll jsut stick to koperberg from now on.

just tried some of the Kirin cider, holy shit is that stuff good. Thanks for the recommendation guys :d

Did you get the Fuji or Fuji + Ume?

just regular Fuji

Actually I don't mind the sotherbys either.

Had a couple when you wrote that? :lol:

Will check it out. I totally loved the Stones Ginger beer when I had it earlier this year.

Went to get some cider for the xmas break yesterday & the bottleo only had Strongbow. Bought it anyway, but not the biggest fan. It's like the Crownies of the cider world IMO.

I had the Fuji + Mikan the other day after i saw it at the bottleshop and remembered it mentioned here, so so good, will definitely get again.

Got 3 bottles of Kirin today, keen to try it out.

I think that was my 6th in about 3 hours with most of them being the bigger double unit sizes. :lol:

Bought a four pack of Monteith's, it better be good.

Having some Monteith ' s now . Not bad not bad at all

Don't be saying shit like that when you're a Strongbow drinker :lol:

Spent Xmas eve on the ciders all afternoon. Got bloated as and seriously seedy the next day. Though that may be because I was having a pint for every one else's jack and coke :lol:

Got a Cider Picks six pack from the cousins. Has Monteiths, 3 oaks, Castaway, 5 Seeds, Dirty Granny and Koppaberg.

Had some Newtons cider up at eppalock . Cuz got some didn't mind it

Sinking a few Somersby Pear Ciders after work. Jeez these things go down smooth and too easily. :lol:

I'm actually getting really over Somersby, they're too sweet and leave your teeth feeling furry.

I find you need to drink them ice, ice cold and really quickly. Once it warms up it becomes overly sweet and almost syrupy.

If you smash them down quickly you just end up suddenly absolutely blotto :lol:

who is this ugly prick??????

we get this cider called "three oaks" apparently made from crushed aussie apples not imported puree concentrate??????

So... Stella Artois do an apple cider, who knew? I don't drink it much, but my brother and Dad rate it massively.
