    I have to say im a fan of Kopparberg. I'm mainly a cider drinker (i dont like beer 'cos im a big girls blouse:p) and i'v yet to taste any nicer. Druids is muck. Linden Village is nice, although it is from the bulmers family so they cant go far wrong. Bulmers was my old favourite but due to unemployment i find myself with a can of Linden Village more often than Bumers or Koppaberg.:p

    I used to drink that misxed fruit years ago when it was away stronger, the pub i used to go to would only allow you 3 of them:D, the bartender would ask have you been mixfruiting if you looked drunk on the way in:D, but having said that jaysus that thing was like a rocket.

    The apple and lime is okay but really really sweet. I couldn't actually taste anything resembling apple in it. It tastes like 7up, but with alcohol.

    Where can you find these? My Tesos or Dunnes only do apple, pear and mixfruits.

    apple and lime is eventually replacing apple original. its 5.3% as apposed to 4.5%. most places that are stocking apple and lime in bottles will not have apple itself or wont have in the very near future. apple will be still avaliable in cans at the moment due to over production. s'berry and lime is only avaliable in spain, france etc...

    I wish they'd bring out more flavours of Kopperberg here though. I was drinking the blueberry one recently when I was on holiday. It was lovely.

    Ooh.. I like the sound of this one :D

    Anyone know if they're planning on importing more flavours?

    Thats up to Richmond, but at the moment it seems unlikely unfortunately.

    Interesting. I was never a fan of apple cider after I hit the legal drinking age but I'm mad for the odd Kopparberg (if that makes sense!). I might have a shot at this apple/lime business if it's on special.

    Has anyone here seen this "Kiss" cider on sale in Tesco / Supervalu. If your looking for an alternative to Apple Cider, it's quite nice, and nowhere as sweet as Kopinberg. Comes in Starwberry / Cherry / Blueberry / Pear flavours.

    Love the apple and pear, I like half of the first can of mixed fruits but after that I find it disgusting!

    Dunnes now have a strawberry and lime Koppaberg, it's subtle and quite nice!


    (and yes, to all the 'resurrecting an old thread' whingers - there are people who've posted here previously who are quite likely to be interested enough to have an update ;))

    It is what it's.

    It's also incredibly sweet! I bought 3 when they were €2 a bottle a few weeks ago and brought them to drink at a party. The first few sips were lovely, but by the time I was halfway through the first one my mouth was hurting from the sweetness. I managed to drink 2 of them over the space of the night, had to throw the third one away because no one else would take it. I have a major sweet tooth but even for me it was too much

    Yes it is too sweet, drink 4-6 WITH ICE and then go on to the next level; my preference after sweet stuff is Gin+tonic+loaad of lime or somethin' like vodka +anything if you hate Gin as most people do :rolleyes: But in general, i find Kopper my fav cider even though a lot of my friends in college for Druids and sh**e like that which i just can't stand, have to admit i'm not a cider drinker. I also think mixed fruit has a bit too much sugar in it, Bulmers new rasberry (i think) isn't as sweet so give it a go if your not happy with mixed Kopper.

    Apple & Lime Kopparberg is pretty much my favourite drink ever. It's such a shame that so few places seem to do it.
    Actually, last few times I looked in Tesco the Apple & Lime wasn't there. It hasn't been stopped, has it? :( Strawberry & Lime just isn't as nice (and has less alcohol)
    Mixed Fruit is ok.
    Pear is rotten (but I don't like pear flavoured anything)
    Haven't tried plain Apple yet.

    Cherry kiss is lovely - just like drinking cherry cola or something. The strawberry wasn't as nice but still quite good. Haven't tried the others - Blueberry sounds nice!

    I normally hate cider but I tried the mixed berry and I loved it! Delish. I don't like the pear one but saw they have strawberry and lime in my Dunnes so I'll try that next :)
