Jacques fruit cider is a relatively new drink to the market and is described as a combination of sparkling cider and 13% fruit juice. It has an alcoholic content of 5.5% and is recommended to be served over ice. Jacques is produced under the Strongbow brand in Belgium, but is in fact produced by its sister company, Stassen.

I'm sure i'm not the only one that drunk cider as a teenager. After this I was put of cider for what I thought would be for life but as everything else does cider changes and that certainly happened when I came across this bottle whilst shopping in Morrisons one night. Jacques is a fairly new Belgian style cider from Strongbow. Priced at £3.59 or two bottles for £5 I thought I may as well give it a try. The are 750ml bottles which are meant for sharing but once you try this you definately won't want to share it. It's 5.5% ABV so not too strong. I bought two bottles of Fruits des bois so my review will be solely on this one but you can also get Orchard ...
