Dog Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Has anyone sampled the new Stella Artois Cidre? Had a few tinnies yesterday with the vicar, and as a summer cider drinker I can honestly say it has to be probably the best cider out there. 4.5% and made from 50% apples. Bring on the zummer!
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Not tasted it yet but assumed it would be along the lines of the lager - overpriced ****.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Had a couple of bottles the other week, it's lovely.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Tried a few bottles recently. Like Stella lager it gave me a headache. Tasted good though.
Jez Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Its a real nice cider and well worth a purchase. Don't let the Stella tag put you off.
sambosa75 Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 I've not tasted it as I will never betray my loyal mistress; The 'Bow.
jjsaint Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Having lived in Devon for 7 years I just can't drink commercial cider.
latter day saint Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 not tried it yet but got a few chilling in the fridge. had a Koppaberg strawberry & lime cider yesterday, and that was lovely.

Hope it's not like that crap Bud which should be done under the Trades Descriptions Act for calling itself beer.
SuperMikey Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 It is nice actually, it's more apple-y than most other ciders. Wasn't expecting too much when I saw it on the trial run but it's very nice. Might I recommend that you guys try Rekoderlig, a Swedish cider. 4.0% and very sweet, but tasty too. 3 for £5 in ASDA atm if i'm not mistaken.

mack rill Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 (edited) Its got quite a nice little smack to it, And at 6 squid a box of 6 -568 ml bottles hmmmmmmm. Edited 23 May, 2011 by mack rill
1976_Child Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 4.5% and made from 50% apples. what's the other 50% then?
John Boy Saint Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Wasps, Maggots, & other things that burrow into Apples!!!

I'm guessing you haven't tried that many ciders overall then. May I recommend the following... Addlestones Kingstone Press Aspalls Cornish Rattler Old Rosie And although they are both quite commercially produced, Westons and Thatchers both produce an excellent range of ciders to suit all tastes.
Jonnyboy Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Stella lager + stella cidre snakebite = trouble God, there is going to be some severe wife-beating going on this summer
Chin Strain Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 I quite liked Cidre - not as good as Savannah Dry, but good.

Westons do a nice vintage organic cider that comes in a 3 litre box ala wine. its down to £5 in Tesco at the mo as well. oh & its 7.3 %
swannymere Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Cider is crap unless you've given it a boost with a dead animal, true story.

Have to be careful though cos it's so nice it's easy to drink it a little too quickly and end up forgetting the entire evening!
Badger Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Local bias perhaps but Friels is a good cider, made in Gloucestershire.
pilsburydoughboy Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Henneys has to be the best shop bought cider
scotty Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Stowford Press is the best cider Ive ever had. Trouble is, theyve had a few faulty batches through recently, some of them taste like petrol, absolutely hideous, in fact I'm taking a case back to makro tomorrow. And the Ship had a duff couple of barrels that tasted the same.
Saint-scooby Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 I had some last week, slightly different than most, tastes a bit like wife beater mixed with a appletise. Need to go a long long way to beat a good scrumpy, oh my lord just had a flash back............................................................my legs my legs I also like a good perry
