    Inoffensive and fairly cheap, plus always seems to be on offer in my local shop, which can sway my choice even further.

    It's great that it doesn't contain artificial sweeteners (will NEVER buy cider with sweeteners!).Ifeel that it tastes a bit thin and yeasty. Having said that, I am used to stronger ciders- although even Olde English would taste like scrumpy compared to that Irish appletize/lucozade stuff that people adulterate with ice.

    A 'safe' cider and a 'nice' cider.

    Gaymers Olde English much nicer than Gamore Original, the best cider. Not easy to find on draft in Spain.

    Gaymers Olde English is cheap, you get a lot of it, and tastes great. Not as strong as it could be, but it's fine. I recommend this for getting the job done.

    Old English is the most pleasant cider on the market. On draught it is liquid gold as it leaves your taste buds alive and wanting more of the same. In can it is refreshing, bitter sweet and subtle. Old English out tastes any other cider both foreign and indigienous.

    The glass flagon bottle is long lamented, but the general taste of Gayners Olde English cider has remained much the same in the plastic bottle. Alas, the canned version can not boast this.

    I'm tasting this now. My impressions are, not strong enough to be a serious cider, acceptable colour and taste, but so ordinary I can't imagine why anyone would buy it twice. Obviously, It isn't 13.5% as one reviewer has claimed, but 5.3%. It can also be bought much cheaper than 89p a can - I bought a 2 litre bottle for £2.49 (= 65p/can).

    Its the sort of drink that you'd bring to a BBQ. Bland and inexpensive enough to share without splashing out, and just about acceptable enough to not ...

    Cider is made of apples, but some taste more of apples than others. I go for the taste when I buy cider. The stronger the cider, the less taste it seems with the big brands. Diamond white is strong but lacking in taste. White lightning has no taste, and it is good for getting heartburn as well, so steer clear of it. So it was between Strongbow and Olde English. I have chosen the latter.

    Gaymer's Olde English of Somerset has been brewed since 1770. It has a clean refreshing taste of apples ...

    Being an olde English drinker from 18(ish) a few years ago they switched from using sugar to sweeteners (as have many cider makers).. For me this just didn't work so I switched to varying sugared ciders... recently noticed no mention of sweeteners on bottle and an email from gaymers confirmed.. although sugar is not used, natural sugars now enhance the flavour.... although not quite as nice as prev this is still tops for cider and is excellent value especially when on special offer... olde Engli ...
