Just had a bottle of Weston's Vintage Organic. Damned fine cider. Taste like cider lollies to me. There's just something about a warm evening and a cold cider...

Registered 11 years agoTesco. Can't remember the name, someone bought it for me. But great stuff. It reminds me of cider but obviously nicer, cos it tastes of ginger. -

I'm hard-pressed to say what my favourite cider might be, but I'm surprised at the mentions of green goblin as I didn't think much of it. -

Registered 11 years agoDoes it taste of 'real' ginger ale - like the Old Jamaican does? Sounds nice... -

Registered 11 years agoIt's not as sharp as the Jamaican stuff (which I prefer), but the taste is there... plus it's got alcohol in it..gif)

Good stuff.
Couldn't find the article I was thinking of, but LOL at this Canadian journo reporting on the exotic cocktail snakebite.
I made my own snakebit on Saturday but it was mixed internally. I had a hangover for two days. -

Registered 11 years agoCrabbies is a bit pricey though - over £2 a bottle in Sainsburys.
Quite like Thatcher's Old Rascal. I like Green Goblin as well, but my local Sainsburys has re-furbed itself so that it has more stuff yet actually less variety.
So they have about half the choice of bottles ales and ciders and have dropped the decent pickeled chillies but now sell TVs, saucepans and other shit.
Bah!Not as nice as I used to be

I got 5 litres of scrumpy decanted from the barrel into a plastic barrel from the lyme bay cidery on holiday last month. Cost me £7, and it sells in store at about 4 quid a litre. Great stuff but potent.

You will all laugh at me for being so predictably middle class but can I recommend Waitrose own brand vintage French cider? I've not found anything better. Tastes just like my uncle's homebrew 'Moscht'.say no to Eurogamer sigs

My local has Old Rosy now. Now that stuff is evil!

Registered 6 years agoAfter extensive testing and numerous hangovers, I declare that Morrisons sell the best cider:
Old Rosy. Slightly sparkling cloudy scrumpy. over 7%.
Either that or the stuff you get in old milk cartons at the Heathfield Show. -

Registered 9 years agoCider is an amazing summer drink. Unless it's shit cider in which case it tastes like acid and chemicals.
People who mix it with lager and put blackcurrant in it need to be destroyed.

I like the Henney's Dry that you can get in Tesco. Dunno if that's supposed to be good or not though. -
