I think that strongbow is great. It is cheap, alchoholic and does not taste like pee like White Lightning. I suppose you are only going to drink it if you like cider but it has become my drink of choice over the last year or so and I am not even a student anymore! Most good offie that you go into will do you a 6 for £5 deal. It is beautiful served over ice on a hot summers day. I know there are more exspensive offerings out there that taste a bit better. If I had the choice I would drink magners, but if you are a little strapped for cash and want a couple with your mates after a hard day at work there is nothing better in my eyes (other than maybe a nice ...  Read the complete review

I am a big lover of ciders, and in recent years have begun to get into allsorts of different varieties which are from different regions and are typically slightly stronger than off-the-shelf varieties. I must admit though, when I need refreshing and I'm on a budget, I come back to Strongbow every time as it's affordable, and is often on offer in supermarkets which makes a night's drinking much cheaper than it would otherwise be. I find Strongbow extremely refreshing, and it's very easy to drink as it tastes pleasant and is not sour or bitter. It's quite sharp and you can't beat that first sip - as summed up in the recent advertising campaign "It's Bow ...  Read the complete review

The cider market has certainly been growing over the last few years but certainly one of the first players in this market was Strongbow which (along with Blackthorn) are right up there with my first memories of drinking cider. Strongbow itself is quite a cheap cider and is served in a very wide variety of pubs and bars. Price wise, it is normally priced at around the same as a beer (this can obviously vary from place to place) so is not too unreasonable. If you were to buy this in the supermarket it is far cheaper and you get different choices for consumption - can, bottle or 2 litre plastic bottle. Of course the best value is the larger 2litre one which ...  Read the complete review

It is light it is tasty and it is guarantied to put you in a good mood! When we were all 14 and we stared trying our best to get beers or anything to look cool on the side of the street, Strongbow in its massive 3lite bottle was a regular for us. As any young group of lads, we were always trying to be cooler than each other and ended up getting too drunk and too sick and all grew up and out of our silly ways and on to either beer, spirits or some stopped drinking altogether. It seems now that most people (majority my friends) see strongbow for either tramps 'trampjuice' or purely for 'minors' looking for a sweater option to get drunk on. However, I strongly ...  Read the complete review

Strongbow is officially the most popular cider sold in the United Kingdom, and unlike the poor quality mass produced lager brands such as Carling and Fosters which dominate the beer market, Strongbow has at least earned its position as the top selling cider, and whilst it is certainly not the best it is not bad at all. It is always easy to find and usually relatively cheap (I found an 8 cans for £5.75 deal in my local supermarket), and when buying for home consumption it is best to go for cans since the 2 and 3 litre bottled versions are much harder to chill, and generally don't taste half as good. Ensure that your Strongbow is thoroughly chilled ...  Read the complete review
