    by fat day do you mean constipation? Are you using bulmers pear as a laxative?

    Devils Bit ftw. If you're gonna drink skanger juice then do it properly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,995 ✭✭✭DenMan


    Had Scrumpy Jack on Thurs night. Pure rocket fuel that's for sure. White Lightning rocks imo. Love it.

    Bulmers and Bulmers pear tho!!! Yum.

    Scrumpy Jack is nicer than any other cider imo


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,418 ✭✭✭curry-muff

    even tho i didnt include it in the thread u cant beat a bit of linden village either

    Bulmers is a cheap cider, well cheap to produce it. They just up the price to make it seem "premium", it should be cheap, they just are ripping you off. I don't even consider it a cider, more like an alcopop, no other cider tastes like it, cidona & vodka would be the closest thing to it.

    stonehouse or devils bit. lovely stuff


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭moonflower


    Devils Bit isn't half bad, or cans of Bulmers are quite nice too. Can't stand Bulmers on tap though.

    Worst one has to be the 3 litres for €3.50 one from Tesco, it's got such a horrible aftertaste!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,630 ✭✭✭dh0661


    Linden Village produced by Bulmers, but IMO much nicer and cheaper.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,612 ✭✭✭bullets


    Inch's stone house cider is my favorite of all the apple Ciders on the Market
    at the moment. While I like my Bulmers its far to expensive to drink frequently.
    4 Can's of Inches was 5.60 Euro in my local about half the price of Bulmers.

    Loved Hudson Blue Ice Cider too, it was great on tap Unlike Bulmers
    but over time more and more pubs and off licences stopped selling it
    and it disappeared, made a comeback then disappeared again.

    No laughing or saying Drink Cidona or apple juice////
    But Always on the lookout for an alcohol free cider too but can never find any good stuff.

    Bulmers medium strength cider is nice but its just not right for them to charge MORE money for half strength.

    Tesco sell a Low alcohol cider, but its a very flat scrumpy taste to it,
    the bottle lids always look like they have Rust! or brown gunk when you pop
    the cap off the top of the bottle, and they expensive enough for a tesco brand.

    The Taurus Cider in Aldi is alright. Tastes like Strongbow 24 cans for €30.
    Lindo is a good auld show too, banged in a couple of flaggans last week for old times sake.

    Cant honestly say it tastes much like strongbow to be honest, bought the 2 litres for €4.29 there during the week and its not that nice :(

    I bet they're a staple drink of your diet Donkey ;)

    I'll go along with Devils Bit. Sometimes they're available in a 4 pack for 6 euro. Really tasty stuff. Medium dry, with a little sweetness, but not as sickly as Bulmers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 888 ✭✭✭quicklickpaddy


    hereford orchard! awesome stuff... goes down like water. cant drink bulmers really anymore since i went onto it. 4.29 for a 2litre bottle (flagin). only ever seen it in tesco - who have stopped the tesco value cider. but apparantly they're bringin it back? anyone heard anything on this?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,081 ✭✭✭thegen


    Kingstone Press. It is €2.35 a 660ml bottle and its nice, really nice.
    Molloys and Redmons in Ranalegh do it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 110 ✭✭Twilighter


    Druids. 1.49 a can in dunnes. Just add blackcurrant to disguise the ****e tase :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,995 ✭✭✭DenMan


    Druids is 1.75 a can in Sligo. I like it. Has a slightly bitter taste to it....but it's all good.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,164 ✭✭✭cavedave

    Try "LINDEN VILLAGE" also produced by Bulmers, but nicer - also "cheap" @ €1-79 for 500ml can.
