Strongbow is not cider, there are no 'cider' apples in the stuff, just a paste made from boiling down Bramley apples so they can keep a consistent taste, this is fermented to a well over 20% and then watered dawn, so instantly it is 80% water as well as tasteless and colourless... Then acids are added to give the product a glimmer of taste as well as bags of sugar to make it drinkable
Any craft ciders made this way would be disqualified from being "real cider".. If you are a true cider drinker buy "craft cider"... Good cider won't even give you a hangover !
Westons, bulmers, koppaberg, gaymers, magners... Are all factory cider and just as b/s as strongbow.
