It will give you the mother of all hangovers if you drink enough of it, but I like cider in general.

Nice. I like cider, I'll have to check it out. How does it compare to common ciders like Woodchuck and Cider Jack?

It is a common cider, and the alcohol percentage is pretty much the same.

It is the important ingredient in a well made snakebite and black though, one of my favorite chilling beverages.

It's good. I don't drink much cider, but when I do this is usually the one I go for. A little drier than most you'll encounter, which (for me at least) is a definite plus.

Also, get really drunk + sick on cider, you can't drink it again without immediately vomiting, I've found.

I have got a couple of crates of it at home it makes a nice change from beer form time to time. It also is nice mixed with lager as well for snakebite.

Strongbow is probably the best mainstream cider but there are much better and stronger ones out there, at beer festivals some micro brewerys make some incredibley strong ones.

For fans of drink mixing supposedly cider and guiness mixed is nice too but have never tried it.

It is my drink of choice when i go to the pub. And yeah i tried some of that rough cider recently that was made locally. It was cheap as chips but was quite possibly the worst stuff ive ever put in my mouth.

Cider is somewhere on the scale between undrinkable and... look it's a horrible drink and this cider-induced hangover isn't doing much to help me think of words.

I used to love Strongbow Lemon White. They don't make them anymore I don't think. It's a shame, the taste of those could take me back to my wreckless teenage years.
