I love the stuff aswell. Got a party in the near future so I think I'll have to stock up on it, hope Asda have it in stock.

What is this fad about drinking cider with lots of ice, I blame Magners/Bulmers (whichever one you have locally). A straight alcoholic drink should not need ice, the cold just numbs or disguises the taste. Cocktails are an exception to the no ice rule.

Kopparberg isn't that great either, it is like comparing Sunny D to real orange juice, theres a resemblance to the original but it tastes like it has been through the digestive system once already before having sweeteners added.

Kopparberg is what the Swedes call cider, but not what us Brits do. It's pear wine, really, just with added carbonated water. Which is why it's so sweet and doesn't have that cider 'tang'.

I love it too

If you want a proper pear cider, try Brothers. They also do a Strawberry version which is rather nice...

...but then if you want alcoholic strawberry stuff, Fruli is THE daddy.

I have some in my hand as we speak, I never have any problems getting it from either Sainbury's or Morrisons. Thats just the pear though, i've yet to track down the summer fruits outside of a lloyds

I tried Ikea but they only did Pear. had to go all through that bloody maze of a place to find it too. Anyone that has been to the gateshead Ikea will know how stressfull it is, especially if you go on a bank holiday!

If you want to try some PROPER cider, get yourself some Aspalls draught Cyder from ASDA (or wherever). It comes in a bottle oddly enough. Get it in the freezer for 45 mins and then drink.

I funnily enough tried some of that last-week, best way to describe it is simply stunning, need to get some more soon!

You can nick them from behind Weatherspoons if you're careful.

Cant be bothered to read the thread, so sorry if this has been said - but Ikea sell it. As do Wetherspoons pubs

-westy- · 2 Jun 2007 at 01:12

Hehe, I'm still on very good terms with my old manager from Wetherspoons, so I can get it at trade price :cool:

Arsey · 2 Jun 2007 at 01:35

Didn't realise supermarkets sell the stuff. I'm going to Asda/Tesco tomorrow

The Strawberry and Lime cider is suprisingly nice
