Jaques Fruit Cider

It was only recently that I tried Jaques cider, and I have to say I was really surprised about how good it tasted. It is very sweet and conatins lots of sugar, but without being at all sickly. It also doesn't taste too alocoholic, and is very morish, I finished half of a bottle with no effort at all. At 5.5% vol it is not too strong, more than beer but not as much as wine, and a few glasses will get you pretty giddy fairly quickly.

Jaques comes in two variety of flavours, Orchard fruits and Fruit de Bois, both of which are great tasting, the Fruit de Bois tastes slightly nicer in my opinion but both are very refreshing.

Pitched as 'a lighter alternative to wine' which I think is exactly what it is perfect for. Avaliable as a 750ml bottle so ideal for sharing with friends and fantastic when served over ice.

It is quite expensive though, and expect to pay more than a regular cider but I think it is worth it.

Summary: A really nice drink
