===INTRODUCTION===

Strongbow is a dry cider and is the most popular brand of cider in the United Kingdom. Strongbow is manufactured as apart of the Bulmer's brand, one of the most popular cider brewers in the world. Strongbow Dry is priced at 3.20 for a two liter bottle, but in a pub, it is very common to pay above 2.80 for a pint. Strongbow dry is a strong brand of cider full of the taste of apples which make the juice. It is over 10 proof, which means drinking responsibly with this brand is a necessity, but enjoying the taste and feel of this unique cider is a must.

===WHEN TO ENJOY IT===

Strongbow dry is best enjoyed on a night out to the pub or to a local sporting event. It is a very strong brand of cider that will leave a somewhat dry and bitter taste in your mouth while drinking and after drinking. It does not quench the thirst, which is why it is important to stay hydrated before indulging in Strongbow cider. Of course, the taste is exquisite but is recommended only for fans that are familiar and enjoy the taste of cider, as cider is often an acquired taste when compared to regular beer or lager.

===BEST SERVED===

Strongbow is best served ice cold or with ice in order to enjoy the unique taste of this cider. When compared to other brands, Strongbow dry is sweet, but not quite as sweet as other brands which helps to enjoy the taste of the drink itself instead of the often bitter and sweet taste of cider that is usually found in the drink. Strongbow of course is the most popular cider in the UK for a reason, and that reason is likely to be the taste.

===DISADVANTAGES===

Drinking too much cider however is more likely to make you feel sick when compared to regular beer or lager because despite not being as sweet as other brands, it is still a very powerful and very sweet drink and there is only so much your stomach can handle. As such, cider is best enjoyed as a one off drink rather than overindulging and making yourself ill. Responsible drinking is a must, keep that in mind and you can easily enjoy the beautiful taste and texture of this unique cider brand.

===SUMMARY===

If you are off on a night out and are looking for a delicious tasting alternative to regular beer or lager, purchase a pint of Strongbow Dry and you will soon understand why it is the most popular brand of cider in England today. From the taste to the refreshing feeling, Strongbow is well worth a try for all cider and alcohol enthusiasts.

Strongbow is my favourite of the major brands these days (ie now that Blackthorn has been ruined), though I woudn't choose it above a really good independently-brewed cider.
