Well, Cidre.

Not a massive fan of the old easyrider, but will drink one at a push.

Had one yesterday (stella cidre) and paid £6.65 for the priveledge (don't ask pleeeeeeze)

Anyhow.....it tastes EXACTLY like magners, really it does.

Are they rebranding it.... buying magners...who buy Bulmers ?

Only Strongbow (tastes like battery acid) and Aspall (Nice and light) taste worlds apart.

Anyhow, can only have one as they rot my guts something rotten.

Why buy french then eh ?....stick to the vino monsieurs !!!

Tried it once, didn't seem anything special. Cidre is to Cider as Stella is to lager. IE crap.

On the rare occasion I try a cider i'll usally go for Westons. I'm not a drinker of 'traditional' cloudy ciders.

Well for the record, Stella Artois Cidre is in fact Belgian. It uses processed apple syrup instead of traditional pressed apples, but the resulting beverage isn't actually too bad.

Its funny, I'm in the USA and Stella is a new product, seen as very premium and far better than standard lagers.

Its like going back to 1999!

Its fun explaining why its called 'Beater in the UK hehe

Meh, it tastes alright, but its just a heavily marketed average cider.

Get yourself down to the Thatchers Farm next Weston super mare. £8 for almost 9 pints of 7.3% thatchers sweet still cider. Fantastic!
