Strongbow Cider

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

Interesting brew to say the least. Pours a pale yellow with no head. Aroma is of fresh apples. Very smooth on the palate with a crisp and sweet aftertaste. It has almost a wine-like character to it. This brew is very drinkable in my opinion. I enjoyed it.

I was first kind of hesitant about trying a cidder, but in the end proved to be pretty rewarding with a strongbow. i personally like the test, pretty smooth, mediocre after taste.

This is NOT what cider should taste like, totally un-applelike. It’s harsh and has aggresive tannins,a totally unbalanced and unpleasant drinking experience, the finish has an artificially sweet edge to it. Cant understand why this is so popular, the power of advertising perhaps!

A drinkable but nondescript cider with a light appleflavour and some weak hints of acid. Fairly standard...

Perfectly enjoyable cider. Nothing outstanding. The thing that saves it for me is that its a fair bit drier than some ciders.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a pale clear yellow with a small and fading white head and a fresh apple smell. The flavor starts out sweet and ends more sour like aplle-juice. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Nice to drink but not special at all.

Had this on tap at Bar Louie, didn’t realize it was cider until it was too late! Thanks to Rick and Robert for joining me for a night of unbridled debauchery. Nose of wheat, flowers and pears. The brew is clear straw with a quickly diminishing frothy white head that leaves no lace. The sweet front leads to a sour acidic middle. The finish is sweet and tart, and the overall characteristic for me is very wine-like. The light water body is fizzy and feels cloying at the finish. Not for me.

(Bottle) Clear golden color, small white head. Sweet, acidic, apple and alcohol scent. Acidic and sweet dry taste. Mouthpuckering acidic mouthfeel, no bitterness.
