Strongbow Cider

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

Bottle via a friend from my work. Clear, yellow color. Smell of sour white grapes, sour apples, little malt and alcohol. Tastes the same. I think it is pretty good. Refreshing. Nice and dry at the end. I could throw back a 6 pack in no time.

Interesting, definitely not an American taste. Would have preferred the Strongbow Super, but this isn’t terrible. Reminiscent of a flavorless white wine.

275ml clear bottle. Light gold pour with no head. Aroma is apples with some trace sourness. Dry with a bit of apple flavour and traces of minerals. Effervescent.

Sampled @ GDBTF. Pours a thin, pallid yellow. Smell of plastic apples, flavor more of the same, tart finish, not particularly impressed.

I know in beer comparisons this shouldn’t be very good, but for a cider i thought it was decent and definitely palatable

Sour apple aroma. Tart, effervescent. Apples. Carbonated, alcoholic apple juice. Tough to rate, as it was my first cider.

Originally received a 3.25 from me on 5/18/04. A staple at "England" at Epcot Center in Orlando. Pale, vurtually clear diluted yellow. Sparkling, effervescent. Silenced apple aroma. Tart flavor. Spritzy on the palate. Basic.

16.9 oz can poured into a pilsner glass. Pours a clear gold with lots of small rising bubbles, yet no head whatsoever after the initial pour. The nose is a muted dull apple with a bit of musk in the background. Light to medium-bodied and effervescent with a tart, dry palate. The flavor is of Granny Smith apples in liquid form: sweet, tart and dry with little indication that this is an alcoholic beverage. Decent enough for a mass-distributed cider or if you’re looking for a simple cider, but it’s not even in the same league with some of the French ciders that I’ve sampled.
