    you are kidding....its the most disgusting drink ive ever tasted...my wife agreed, so have alot of my friends who have unfortunately tried it....paid £3.49 in a local off licence......i drink cider and im not fussy but 95% of this ending up down the plug hole

    tasted like much more sickly sweet version of cough mixture...worst drink ever made

    if you like cider mixes then try aspalls cyder with blackberry liquer(from waitrose) which strongbow have tried to copy laughably badly...aspalls produce the best mass produced cider imo
