Strongbow Cider

Brewed by Bulmers Cider (S&N, Heineken)
Style: Cider
Hereford, England

Golden colour. Aroma is fruity with notes of apples (duh!). Flavour has a hint of sweetness and a well-balanced tartness with notes of apples.

aroma not to great with a light amber colour to it, flavour was not to great but ok, palate is quite dry and fairly smooth, an ok drink to have on a everyday ocassion.

This is a nice cider. It’s deep gold, darker than many, clear, bright, with steady bubbles and a thin, white head dissipating to a wispy ring. It smells of slightly musty apples, a bit pungent but not overly perfumy. It is nicely sweet without being cloying like some. Compared to Ace, it is not as cloyingly sweet at first, but doesn’t lose its sweetness in the end as much. It’s smoother in feel and has a nicer, stronger apple flavour. This is one of my favourite ciders now but I rarely drink ciders anymore.

Tap @ Lions Sportsbar, Kensington Close Hotel, London.
Pours pale golden with a small, fizzy white head. Lots of bubbles in the liquid. Aroma is sweet apples, but rather weak. High and lively carbonation. Very mild flavour, light dryness and light apples - just not much of anything.

Clear golden yellow. No head, but somewhat fizzy. Sweetish apple aroma. Taste is semi-sweet apple, finishes dry. Noticeable carbonation in the mouthfeel. Not great, but refreshing. Better than cheap beer, but costs as much as good beer, so not something I’d make a habit of.

Bottle: Clear yellow colour. Aroma of apple, and a sweet nose,with a citric end. Flavor is apple and a nice citrus/yeasty mouth feeling. Thin body, short sparkling mouth finish. My cider no.1 at Ratebeer.. this was not a nice start, but enyway a start........

Not the best cider in the world, but pleasant on a warm summer’s day. Good apple aroma, no head.

Tart and very nice. Smells (what else?) like an apple and drier than you’d think. Summer’s coming...
