I was a fan of original Strongbow Cider. It’s reformulation is not the same.<\/p>\n
People in the store where my hubby goes to get liquor said it’s the original. Aww, nice move. [It’s not.]<\/p>\n
I don’t like drinking alcohol very often. In the summer months dry cider is something I want every so often.<\/p>\n
This season I’ve had two bottles of the Strongbow Gold Apple variant so far, I don’t know if I can force myself to a third or not. Best bet is I will never convert.<\/p>\n
Decided to look at what the NET says about this. Blackthorn might be my only choice to try at this point. IF I can even find it here in the U.S.<\/p>\n
I only used bottled cider, no cans please, ugh.<\/p>\n
Anything I’ve tried, other brands, all are too sweet, and just missing what I like in cider, the dry, crisp, fermented wonderful-ness escapes U.S. brewers. Why, why, why?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
