Cidre/Magners and Bulmers are awful. If you like a good cider, try Waitrose vintage or Waitrose reserve. They are 7.3 and 8.2% respectively but are a really lovely pint. As for pear cider, yuck.

Its very very drinkable stuff too, not even a hint that it is that strong, definitely worth a bottle or four.

Bulmers tastes like f*cking shit mate!! Much prefer a magners! Ive had many arguments with people over this and you just need to look at which is cheaper!! The whole Irish cider thing is bollocks anyway. I spend a lot of time in Ireland and most places never even heard of magners. I'm no expert but I know my taste buds

I'm with Marc on the strong stuff!! No fecker would want to be around me on any black dragon caper!!! That I can assure you :lol:

Westons organic is a lovely sup...as for Bulmers, it is the same stuff as Magners. It's Irish-made bulmers rebranded for the English market, cos it already has Bulmers from Hereford.

If you have to drink either of those two i prefer Bulmers over Magners they both have to be very chilled or it will taste awful.
Stay away from pear cider its for ladies and pussies.
Be a devil and buy cans of scumpy jack which are very reasonably priced and is 6%.Thats what i usually take on the away games bus other than bow. :D :D
I tried a nice bottle of cider on sunday called black rat it is from Melksham and was lovely. :ayatollah:

Both shit if you ask me. Stella Cidre is better if you like a weak sweet tasting cider. If not try Black Dragon or Diamond White, now were talking there proper drinks. Also Taffy Apple is good but you can't get it in too many places.

There's nothing wrong with good old Strongbow or Special VAT come to think of it though.

Did someone just seriously recommend Diamond white??
