Question Koppaberg cider........

..anyone else like it?
Just drinking a can of ice cold pear cider. It OUGHT to be too sweet, but somehow, it just tastes right, and is very thirst quenching.

4.5% alcohol too.

Got a fruits of the forest, for tomorrow night.

BTW: for anyone who DOES like this stuff, buy it in cans, 4 up. It works out at only £1.86 odd a pint, whereas by the bottle works out at WELL over £2 a pint.

Tried it some time ago, thinking "at last" a sweet cider

Turns out its just the same bland "dry" formula used by all the others

Wont be buying or drinking that one again

Now strawberry Fruli mm

Bloody hell, my face went numb after one glass

Makes the sanitised crap you buy in the shops look tame

mart360 the stuff from the farms in Devon and cornwell is Cider the Brothers and fancy fruits Koppperg is alcho pop.

My Favourite stuff is Chucklehead he sells it at alot of the Gamefairs including the CLA

http://www.chuckleheadcider.co.uk/home.htm

if you wanted it bottled then it has to be Gwatkin

http://www.gwatkincider.co.uk/home.html

also sells at a few Gamefairs including the CLA

if it has to be Fruit flavoured then Aspalls

http://dev.aspall.co.uk/products/cyd...sh-3-6-26.html

which isnt bad for fizzy cider

Koppaberg is my favourite cider, I like the pear one and the mixed fruit. I even got my mum drinking it over Christmas and her limit is usually a shandy!

I did the famous "drunk from the feet up" bit with the fruit Koppaberg one time.

I *thought* I was completely sober (the damn stuff tastes like a fruit cordial) until I tried to stand up and found my legs had stopped working.

No hangover though, so that was a plus. Shame about the crawling on my hands and knees to the bog bit though....

Yes, it does taste gorgeous, not like alcohol at all so lulls you into a false sense of soberness. Probably why I like it as I can't stomach the taste of spirits.
