Sep 18, 2009 50cl black can, "Strong Dry Cider" it says on the label. Strong it is ( 7.5 % abv ). Clear golden colour, no head (It’s cider!!!!). Aroma of ripe apples, citrus and alcohol. In comparison to the regular "Strongbow Cider", this drinks much more like real wine! Oily, pleasingly fullbodied mouthfeel, no doubt because of the higher alcohol volume. Taste ,again, is of ripe, sweet apples, but with an appealingly bitter finish. Alcohol is well integrated into the texture. But "dry"? Not really. However, it’s superior to the regular version. Those who wrote "cheap and nasty" below should have their heads examined. Good!

Aug 11, 2009 A Mes rate: bottle at the ever brilliant Chris O’s Pre GBBF Extravaganza.
I was actually quite surprised with how borderline pleasant I found this. It’s pretty much identical to the regular Strongbow but a little better and slightly drier. Shite but impressive at the same time.
