Been a bit of a phenomena over the last couple of years, popping up fucking everywhere in all kinds of flavours.
Your thoughts?
I don't mind the odd one, a summer berry / mixed fruit type, although they're generally piss weak they're nice for a refreshing change.
Anyway, I work a bar and regularly get asked for fruit cider which we do not stock.
Anyway, one night some arse asked me "what fruit cider you got mate?", To which I replied "just Apple; mate".
He was quite impressed by this having "never seen that flavour before".
Cunt.

Any cider that isn't apple is just wrong.

If it's not made from apples then it is not cider. Even if the twatty marketing men tell you different.
Technically fruit cider is still made from apples. For example Strawberry cider is fermented apples flavoured with strawberries. Pear cider is fermented apples flavoured with pears. If it is made mainly from pears then it is perry not cider. If it's made from apples and pears then it is pider.
These drinks have been around for hundreds of years. So Kopperberg and its marketing department can go and fuck themselves.

It's like Stella Cidre.
I've been going over to Belgium for the last 30 years and never seen this until it was being promoted over here!
Stella isn't even the best selling lager in Belgium!

It's got to the point where I can't drink apple cider anymore, find pear and mixed fruits go down much easier. Used to have a cider at the match every now and again but it's too acidic. I don't drink cider out anyway unless it's stinking hot, but if I'm having one on a Friday night and the choice of having an apple or a mixed fruits one, i'll almost always go for the mixed fruits one.

I agree with chum, mixed berry is like snakebite and black and goes down a treat, it is however way to pricey. In Ireland there is a strong beer tax as well

 Somebody in a boardroom somewhere must have been tasked with working out how to get people other than 14 year old girls to buy these sugary devils. Rebrand them as posh looking summery fruity ciders, women and gullible bent men will love them. Genius really, nobody seems to have noticed. |

Builders and lads in clubs are always buying Blue WKD because they have a WKD side. Did you not see those DocuAdverts? |

If my son ever takes to cider, I'm going to take him in the shed and shag his little arse off screaming "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?", fucking little bender, fucking disgusting.
I want grandkids, and it's Adam and Eve not Gaylord and Steve. Am I right, Jesus? Fucking gross acidy shit.
