Cider - do you find this?

This? That cider is more refreshing than lager? I do like cider although I don't drink it much (usually lager) but I must say sometimes on a hot day it does hit the spot.
Argree with this? I'm tempted to say yes although I don't think I've drunk enough cider to really tell.

Re: Cider - do you find this?
I find cider tastes worse the more you drink, whereas with beer it's the other way round. Don't know if that answers your question though.
I like cider sometimes but find only the stronger varieties really have a good taste, and that makes them less refreshing on warm, thirsty evenings as you can't really quaff it (unless you intend to get hammered, which is something I don't like to do).

Re: Cider - do you find this?
Depends on the cider really IMO. I've only ever found sweet cider to be refreshing - Woodpecker seems to do it for me the most but I'm always going to be careful around a drink which is made from rotting apples. I'd say there's a direct link between the number of pints/bottles you drink and the number of hours on the toilet later...

As opposed to wine, which is made from rotting grapes? Some people spend a fortune buying the end product of the grape-rotting process! You can make any food sound gross if you try hard enough ...

With cider, isn't it the acidic content that gives you the trots?
I cannot stand cider, so stick to bitter or lager. If thirsty I prefer lager, but for a drink, bitter.

Re: Cider - do you find this?
I can't stand beer in any of it's forms, Caffrey's is bearable at a push.
Cider's quite nice, but I'd rather have a nice red wine, when I actually drink alcohol that is.

Re: Cider - do you find this?
my fav cider is Koppaberg (swedish) and I love it...refreshing in the summer  and you just drink it away like its fruit juice so quite dangerous at the same time as well cuz before you know it you've had 5 bottles and trying to stand is a bit more difficult then :O

Re: Cider - do you find this?
I love Woodpecker cider. 
As for Lager (and Beer) - can't stand either so it's no contest really.

Yes, but it's called Pourriture Noble or Noble Rot in wine-drinking circles. Definitely a bit more classy.
And isn't the cider equivalent the dead rat that is supposed to be found at the bottom of the barrel of your rougher ciders?

Re: Cider - do you find this?
I find most ciders these days to have about much apple taste as a brick. If you like beer, but prefer the acidic kick of cider, have a lookout for Belgian Geuze Lambic beer... it's traditionally fermented in open outdoor tanks with natural airborne yeasts.

Re: Cider - do you find this?
I do drink Cider as I find it a lot more refreshing when it is ice cold. Although sometimes a nice cold bottle of Corona with a slice of lime is extra refreshing.
Kopparberg Pear cider is by far the best.Its not always easy to find though.
Magners/Bulmers are pretty nice too.

for Koppaberg, missus and I had a bottle each the other week, one of apple and one of pear. Definitely does what it says on the tin!
