Not the shit film with gerbil-molester Gere, the 'cider' made by Carlsberg...

 

They're doing 4x440ml for £2.49 at the shop near Bolton Hospital, anyhow, has anyone else tried it?

 

It tastes like fizzy apple juice, there's absolutely no 'bite' to it whatsoever, it's not that sweet either...

 

You could give it to someone as Appletize or a sparkling (non-alcoholic) apple drink and they wouldn't bat an eyelid, yet it's apparently 4.5% and I have to admit I can feel the (slight) effect of two cans of it...

 

What is it? apple juice with a shot of ethanol in it?

 

And why are all the beer brands getting in on the cider game? I know it's taxed at a considerably less rate, but there must be sommat else, is the price of sugar/malt/hops etc. going up?

 

Or are they weening the new crop of soft, mollycoddled kids on pop-like drink instead of proper training booze like Helden Brau, Gold Label or Royal Dutch?

they had it in the dancers at £2.50 a pint

 

MG WHITE could not get enough of it

It does the trick I suppose, and it's cheap - probably trying to get a foothold against Strongbow...

 

It's a bit girly tho' - it'd be perfect to treat a ladyfriend with. Just pour it into a posh glass.

currently selling in my local at £2.50 a pint as well. I quite like it

Think its alright meself. Tesco were selling 12 cans for £5 last summer. Stocked up on the stuff

I like it, but then I like apple juice. The stuff in Denmark is even more so, it literally tastes like apple juice but gets you fucked

Has anyone ever had a skinful of the stuff? I had a few of them last night and feel fresh as a daisy today. I've just got a feeling there's some kind of catch?

 

Perhaps it's just the Danes taking the cidermaking tradition in a new, clinical, scientific direction from the 'West Country' style we're used to?

Paw: "Ooarr?"

 

Jethro: " Oaarr, well I tripped and they fallen into the vat we pressed yesterday..."

 

Paw: "Never mind young Jethro lad it'll all add to the flavour..."
