Cider

is magners / bulmers cider better quality than strongbow cider

[AlwaysConfused]

I prefer strongbow to bulmers. But a magners with ice is lovely in the summer.

Isn't Strongbow made by Bulmers?

[Answerprancer]

IMO all three (especially Strongbow) are repugnant foul excuses for "cider".
I'd go with Westons or Thatchers.

I have always preferred the flavour of Sainsbury's own brand Strong Cider at £2.99p a 2litre bottle.

ok aspells is my fave

its just a man in the pub said magners use whole new apples

and strongbow is made from the remnants

a bit like what single malt is to blended whisky

[Answerprancer]

I would say Strongbow is more like Domestos whereas Bulmers and Magners are more like Ajax and Windowlene. Aspalls is more yer Londis apple juice!

Buy it straight off the farm and get real cider and about 50p a pint.

[Old_Geezer]

Ah a pint of rough. But remove the rats' tails before quaffing.

[RATTER15]

OG, you can get sweet off the farm as well.

[moonraker558]

All the same to me.

Aye in a small glass for the ladies.
Not the same though is it ;-)

[RATTER15]

I agree, I like it as dry as a bone and as rough as it comes, you can't beat a real farm cider, so much better than this stuff you buy in Tesco, straight out of the laboratory, nasty!!!

only trouble for me with farm cider / scrumpy cider is its flat .

and i like my cider with a bit of fizz

i must agree with the sainsburys one

at least that one does taste of real apples

and i am surprised no one has had a go at white ciders

do they even contain apple ???
