Stella Artois 'Cidre'

[Zamoracomehome]

That's weird, i have just come home with a 4 pack of this cider, £3.00 seems a bargain............it will never be as nice as a good bottle of red wine but fancied a change

To me it's an incredibly pleasant surprise...not as sweet as Bulmers/Magners erc and a bit drier...enjoy it.

it is however remarkably good to drink at 7am

good man

Absolute pisswater. Bought a case of 8 pint bottles from Tesco as part of the cider haul for the past weekend. It's horrible, sweet, designed-to-be-drunk-over-ice-to-disguise-the-flavour muck, alongside the dreadful Magners and foul Bulmers.

Get involved in Westons, Aspall, Thatchers, Henneys and the like for a proper drop of cider.

(Both Sainsbury and Tesco own label 500cl bottles are made by Thatchers too.)

Ohhhhhhhhhhh mixed reviews..........i shall have to trail my trusted taste buds on a few of these later to get the definitive answer

I'd imagine if you like Magners and similar shite, you'll like Stella Cidre.

That doesn't make it good however.

far far too sweet

it is however remarkably good as a first point when hungover or to drink at 7am

Goes down far too easily, especially when the Sun's out.

At last ... the FIRST post on this thread actually to mention something deserving of the name "cider".

I'm currently exploring a rather fine home-made "eau de vie", distilled from cider. Not at all bad, if drunk in moderation.

Saw this in Tesco this afternoon, have a bottle waiting to be drunk tonight.

Magners/Bulmers/Gaymers is pretty piss poor in my opinion.

I'm all about Westons, Stowford Press, Aspall or a good old Scrumpy.

Gaymers shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Magners and Bulmers IMO. Goes in the same category as Brothers and Blackthorn, just cheapy shite.

Old English is an under-rated cider methinks.

Well, it's refreshing, but that's it, a little wishy washy not really up there amongst the classics. Kopparberg is quality for a foreign cider though

 

[maresfield seagull]

You can get EVERY stile of English cider so there really is no need to buy Belgian. It's still a shame that Merrydown closed down though

Pretty sure its still in production
Although the Horam site is closed

Continental Cider....! ! ! are you sure....when there are so many good British Ciders or Sussex Ciders come to that.

Try Oakwood bottled cider, or you have the Biddenden from Kent or Mr Whiteheads from Hampshire, you will pay more but am sure you will enjoy it more.

Cheddar Valley is what it is about.

oh ick, thats far too sweet

 

[Simster]

Not that keen on cider, and I don't rate wife beater. So it looks like adding up to one truly shit beverage. I'll swerve it I think.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Does the cider have the added "smack ya bitch up" chemicals ?

 

[simpleton]

my mum, dad and better half both really liked it.

Your better half is your mum or dad?

I've tried the stuff and came to about the same conclusion as you so I wont be drinking it again, Westons Organic cider is still the way to go for me.
