Bristol Rob Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Doesn't sound too clever to me, but anyone given it a go? Sounds like a sweet mess of a drink and is just a few steps away from being a Strongbow Dark Fruits effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side you can make an Aperol Spritzy type drink - just replace the sparkling wine with the cider. Not too bad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippin cider Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 It’s Gold for me all day long ,tried a few others from Thatchers but I’ll stick to Gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 I'm a traditionalist, Cider = Apples, simple as that. I don't drink Thatchers very often, Gold at the Gate if nothing else is on, but even that is a little sweet for me. I imagine this would be worse. Quite like their Goblin or Vintage, Cox's isn't bad, but I'll give the orange a miss I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 I'm not necessarily into non-apple ciders but I do generally have a bit of a soft spot for anything blood orange flavoured so might give this a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it tonight. It’s sweet so you wouldn’t want too many. Could see it as an option for a summer all dayer starter off-er-er though.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Apples are the only fruit I need in a cider! I will give this a wide berth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTOR Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 It’s not very nice, in my opinion. Tastes like a naff sports drink. Then again, I’m convinced thatchers changed their recipe coinciding with the change of texture on the cans. Since then, I haven’t really liked any of it. Black top golds, the original can, were heavenly. Sheppy’s Kingston black from my local co op can’t be beaten right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
