Chilled French cidre is very refreshing on a hot summer day.

Re: Is cider crap?
Decent dry cider is great. I wish Henney's Dry Cider wasn't 6.0%. I'd buy it more often if it was a session cider. I'm sure it used to be either 5 or 5.5%.

Re: Is cider crap?
Strongbow is great for cooking but unfit to drink as Cider
Thatchers and Welsh Dragon are decent brands
As a rule you need to be in Oxfordshire to get decent draught cider though

Re: Is cider crap?
Like any drink, if you drink the quality stuff it is very nice.
I dont mind battery acid, so like all cider, although woodpeckers and thstchers gold need to up their game for me.
I'll chose I nice lager if they're on.

Re: Is cider crap?
I like cider but cider doesn't like me. Severe acid indigestion follows a couple of pints of it. I'll stick to ale.

Don't mind supping a jug of Old Rosie over my shoulder.
Most cider to me is Meh, except Pineapple cider but no one seems to make that over here so there you go.

Re: Is cider crap?
No, Cider is a lovely drink on a summers day, and also at Christmas; give me a pint of Henney's any day over some other drinks out there.

I was so sick off cider when I was 17, I've never been able to taste even a drop of it since.

Re: Is cider crap?
Cider's brilliant.
Pub cider normally ranges from awful and undrinkable to acceptable.
Undrinkable - Strongbow
Acceptable - Aspalls, Thatchers, Westons
Very good is properly made Real Cider with nothing other than pure apple juice (and yeast) as the ingredient.
The cider tent at a good beer festival is a joy to behold.
