The best Cider! (My recommendation!)

Thu Feb 16, 2012 5:53 pm

had a few bottles of Black dragon the other night! http://groceries.asda.com/asda-estore/c ... sDetecting

Now I drink strongbow but this Kicks Strongbow into touch BIG time! can pick it up fairly cheap to be fair, is 6.5% and is a Nice strong cider. Also made in Lantwit Fadre, Wales. much less content needed for the same effects as bow but to me really is a better taste! ;)

ALSO:

Thatchers Gold - http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/groceries/i ... 9414657115

As above similar taste, somerset Cider and blows my head off! :lol:

Either one of these will probably be coming with me to Wembley! :ayatollah:

What other brands do you prefer over Strongbow? NO GIRLS PEAR CIDER TALK ALLOWED!! (IF yo mention a pear cider brand - you will get an automatic Message Board BAN!! :lol: )

Merlin i have tried that and very nice. But i think this is done by the same brewery and its called National Treasure and its the best Cider i have ever tasted. Fooking lush mate :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Black Dragon one of my favourites so far. Just that Strongbow is far more readily available and more of it too! But if you can stock up on a good cider, I will recommend Black Dragon :)

Anyone tried black rat? Now that is proper loopy juice.

Re: The best Cider! (My recommendation!)

Black Rat is awesome. It's usually on one of our Pub Golf rounds...it's a killer.

Talking of killers, Hob Goblin is lethal
