Strongbow Cider

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

Crushed with Jakebra. Smells like sour apples, rotten apples, and apple diarrhea. Flavor makes the mouth gush a bit, which is pretty cool, but it’s basically shitty sparkling apple juice with some alcohol and chlorine thrown in.

No, it’s not the best cider ever, but I have to give this a slightly higher rating because it saved my butt. So, here I was, at a clothing optional bar in key west. I realized that the only rational thing to do was to get drunk. My choices were Miller light, or strongbow... I chose Strongbow. I enjoyed it so much, I polished off 3 of those huge cans... I do believe that it contributed to some horrific flatulence the next day however.

Pours pale gold with a 1 finger creamy white head that has good retention. Aroma is rotten apples (not in a good way) a touch of vinegar, light caramel and citric acid. Flavor is apple juice, citric acid, overripe apples, corn, a little vinegar and crisp mineral notes toward the end. Palate is dry and watery with a high effervescence and a very dry finish. This is probably the worst cider I have ever had.

Pours a goldish yellow with thin white head. Smells of watered down apple juice with a tastes that agrees with the smell. Palate is weak and finish is slightly bitter. Not a good cider.

Bottle at home. Clear golden coloured with a small white head. Fruity aroma of apples and fermented apples. Fruity flavour of apples and apple juice with notes of apple core and caramel. Tart finish, Lacks complexity.

it is what it is................................................

The look is clear, golden in color, and has a white fizzy head. The smell is apples, very light almost no smell. Dry finish. The taste is sweet appples, metallic, and paper.

First had this at a Brit ex-pat bar in Hong Kong. Re-found it at local mega mart. Light yellow in color, virtually no head. Sweet smelling, like a golden delicious apple. Very dry, and (obviously) tastes like apples. Light feel, easy to drink with no carry on the back end. Good with chicken and lightly flavored fish.
