  • Taste is, excuse the pun, a matter of taste. One man's foul and disgusting is another man's ambrosia and nectar.

    They may send you some vouchers back as a gesture, they may tell you that you pays your money you takes your choice.

    Like the other poster has said other people may like it, have you tried other pear ciders before i guess not, ive drunk strongbow, magners, blackthorn and some pear ciders and i quite like them, kopparberg is imo the better one

    i like it, its a more natuaral pear taste rather than the sweet sickly pear taste of koppaberg which is too sweet imo
  • I like kopparberg, but really dislike Bulmers:confused:

    Bulmers and Magners are one and the same?

    no not quite

    in Ireland magners is called bulmers, however in the UK bulmers is owned by S&N (now Heinekin) so the name couldnt get used over here so they called it magners here
    bulmers (in the UK) make strongbow, sirrus, bulmers orignal, pear light etc

    magners/bulmers in ireland is owned by a company called c&c
  • It's OK..I'm not much of a pear fan though. The strawberry cider they do is gorgeous though especially over ice. I tried a toffee apple one too which was not bad but not a patch on the strawberry...nom nom nom!!

    I think the Bulmers' pear cider is lovely!

    YOU THREW TWO AWAY?!?! Nooooo, give them to me!! You could have at least put them away to give to a visitor one day! How very un-MSE of you!

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
