I was shopping in Tesco's this afternoon and was very excited to see Lambrini had brought out a Cidre, and even more excited as i had seen a promotional offer if you bought 3 with tokens you are able to send away for a beautiful umbrella. As I collect umbrellas this had got me really excited and couldn't wait to go home and send away for my new exciting exclusive purchase.To my disappointment this promotional offer does not include Northern Ireland. As much as i love your new product Lamrinicidre as I always loved the taste of Lambrini and buy it on a regular basis and this was the first time I have ever seen a promotion on lambrini. your normal sweet taste has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I am now left with these tokens that are of no use to me and it is of the utmost disappointment as we are we part of the United Kingdom. The token does not state on the outside that Northern Ireland is excluded it is only on the inside, very disappointed custumer not through taste but promotional product Siobhan Northern Ireland

Got a voucher for a free bottle of this from BzzAgent and wow am glad I tried it! Have tried normal Lambrini and liked it ok but found it a little over sickly so have been put off of getting it lately and I'm not really a fan of cider so this isn't something I would have ever picked up to try. But the taste is really refreshing and it's a fab girly drink to serve at parties - I know some friends who'd love this served in pretty glasses as the colour is a great pink one and bubbly looking. Will definitely be getting some in for next years BBQs!!

Crisp, just-sweet-enough flavour, goes down so easy! Received vouchers for some free & some discounted Lambrini cider from BzzAgent and have since purchased many times over, the taste is subtle and refreshing, would have been perfect in a tall glass over ice at a barbecue but can also imagine curling up on the couch after a long hard day. I find many flavoured ciders to be a bit too sweet and sickly after the first bottle or so, but this is very drinkable. I've seen that it is available in most supermarkets but I did struggle to find some, so that so far is the only downside.

These slip down a little too easily with an almost 'pop like' quality to them. They are refreshing and tasty. A shame they weren't around over the summer as they would have been a fanastic drink for enjoying in the garden in the sunshine whilst reading a book. I was quite suprised that my 19 year old son also liked these so they are perhaps a drink for anyone.

I am a huge fan of Lambrini so was absolutely delighted when BzzAgent offered me a free bottle to try. Lambrini Cider comes in 3 flavours; apple and pear (a mix of British apples and pears with a crisp refreshing taste), forest fruits (crushed raspberries and blackberries with crisp pear cider) and summer berries (hints of strawberry and elderflower swirled with crisp pear cider). Apple and pear sounded a little boring and I’m not a big lover of pears, so the decision was between forest fruits and summer berries. After much deliberation I went for summer berries as it sounded and looked more exciting. The bottle retailed at just £3.05 in Tesco which is very good value. I was instantly impressed by the bottle design. It’s a gorgeous looking bottle, very girly and pretty with pale pink and gold trim for the summer fruits (I was reluctant to throw it away after it was empty!). I chose the 75cl bottle over the pack of 4x 330ml bottles. As soon as I got home I chilled the bottle in the fridge ready for the evening. Due to the rare sunny weather I’d invited 4 friends round for a BBQ. I poured 4 large glasses and shared it out with my friends. The colour is a lovely rich pink colour and it has quite a fruity smell. I took a sip and I myself absolutely loved it. It was light, refreshing and you could really taste the fruits. The berry flavour was the strongest taste with a subtle alcohol taste underneath. The sweetness of the berries perfectly complimented the sourness of the alcohol. I would say it was closer to sweet wine or even fizzy fruit juice than cider which was a bonus for me. I have a very sweet tooth though so this may be overly sweet for other people. Most of my friends loved it as well although one though it was a bit sweet for their taste. The strength of the fizziness was good at first although became flat after about 15 minutes of sitting in the glass. Overall it was the perfect addition to a relaxed summer evening BBQ. I have found something that I like even better than the usual Lambrini wine and will definitely be buying this again. A fantastic, tasty, summer drink!

I was pleasantly surprised with the taste of this cider. It was very refreshing and not too sweet, just how I like it. It had a nice fruity flavour and it was the sort of drink you could enjoy when socialising. I found the price a little on the high side for a cider, however.

I wasn't really sure about this to begin with but it's actually really nice. It tastes nothing like the usual cheap Lambrini. I will be buying this again in the future, and I've told people to try it too. It'll taste really good in the summer!

After receiving some vouchers from bzz agent, I picked up my free sample from Tesco, After trying i was pleasantly surprised as i remember Lambrini being a bit of a cheap tasting drink, seems they have over hauled their product and are now selling something miles better!

I tried several times to find any of these products in either ASDA or Tesco's eventually after many trips, there was a stock in TESCOS I chose Summer fruits and this was the right choice for our party, the bottle design is great I only had the choice of the large bottle , it looks very elegant I liked the design. Its the sort of bottle that looks good on the table. The drink was refreshing and light and great with a few ice cubes. It was nice to have a different taste with cider. Would now like to go on and try the other flavours shame it took so long to purchase my first bottle as not readily available on the shelf at the moment, not easy to find in a store

I tried Lambrini Summer Fruits as I am a Bzzz Agent. Its not something I would normally ever buy - prefering white wine or something like Crabbies but I was very pleasantly surprised. Not as sweet as I expected. Drink it very chilled with lots of ice and its a very easy going drink - perfect for that afternoon party or barbecue where you need to pace yourself.

I tasted the Summer fruits cider it was lovely, very fruity, not too strong, and absolutly delicious in a tall glass with lots of crushed ice.It was lovely, a flavour i enjoy, so there isn't anything negative to say.

I tried this product because I am a Bzzagent. I dont normally drink Cider as I a find it too strong but this was lovely. It is light and fresh and I drank it with ice and I could have drank the whole bottle myself! I am looking forward to trying the two other flavours. Well done Lambrini!

I think this is the sort of drink that you either love or hate! I must admit i absolutely hated it! It just tastes very cheap! I even got my partner to try it, in which he reacted exactly the same as me. I will definately not be purchasing again.

Fab tasting, light and fresh drink. Its quite bubbly which just makes it taste even better. The summer fruits flavour is quite subtle.

Like the others I glanced at I was lucky enough to receive this product as part of a Bzz Campaign. It is in fact my first such one and as such was amazingly exciting. Located in the cider aisle of ASDA (but not my little Tesco), they are easy to find and stand out the second you see them. I opted for the 4 small bottles having failed to spot the larger one (though I am told it does exist) and this flavour because it seemed to be the one that would appeal most. And I sure was right. Perhaps before I write about the cider I will tell you about my tastes. I am very very fussy with my drinks. I prefer cider because it tastes fruitier than anything else, but tend to go for the more odd flavours like Toffee Apple because you can't taste the alcohol. It was with some cautiousness then that I had my first swig, and then with much eagerness that I continued. Don't get me wrong it wasn't gone in seconds, but it lasted less time than others (which may have been because it is a 330ml bottle as opposed to the 500ml I am used to) but it tasted so delightful I found it easy and refreshing to drink. And that is a quality that caught me off guard. Many many drinks market themselves as refreshing, but tend to lose that after the third mouthful. This kept that quality right to the end which I applaud it for. The flavours themselves are sophisticated. It is based on pears, strawberry and elderflower (yep that was read from the bottle) and you can get a hint of all those. They might not be recognisable as they are interlinked, but there is a definite tiering of the flavours as they filter through. As the wine buffs do I would be tempted to let this lie for a moment to get all the taste out before swallowing it is that good. The bottles feel dainty and call to mind summers days (but then the campaign has marketed it as such so that could be subliminal) but I can definitely see myself sat in the garden on a patio sort of thing with a few close friends just chatting and sipping out our special cider. It is perfect for that. I am not so sure how it will fit into the gloomier winter weather, but I reckon Lambrini will have something up their sleeves. 5 stars, even if you are as picky about your drinks as myself.

After going to get my free case of 4 bottles of lambrini i did not really know what to expect i added some ice thought it might go well with a bbq we were having . I was pleasently surprised it was different to other cidres and was refreshing and really fruity and tasty i would definetely recommend this a great drink to share with friends anytime or for parties not to heavy either

In the past the lambrini brand had not meant much to me apart from passing it in Iceland for £1. I don't normally go for cider either as it leaves me with an after taste that I don't find pleasent. However after receiving my vouchers from Bzzagent.co.uk I picked up my samples of Lambrini summer fruits and waited til a weekend BBQ to have a taster. To my surprise I actually loved the taste of this cider and found the sweetness and freshing fruit taste lovely on a summer evening in the garden. It doesn't leave a nasty aftertaste and as I mentioned was very refreshing. I would say put your previous Lambrini experience behind and try their new cider.

I shared my bottle of lambrini cider with my family, It has a nice fresh taste to It and its a nice colour too Very feminine, I do not normally Drink cider but lambrini has changed my view on it, its sophisticated Cider, which I feel many people would enjoy, My only niggle is its a little sweeter than I expected but that's down to Personal preference and would not stop me from buying it again or trying the other flavours.

The Lambrini Summer Fruits Cider is way better than I expected from the Lambrini brand. The taste was light and fruity and easy to drink - especially on a summers day. This drink would be nice with a mixer of lemonade if you wanted to not drink much or just wanted an single drink if driving. The alcohol content is such that you can drink it without feeling the effects of the alcohol - so perfect on a hot day when sometimes you can get caught out. All in all the drink was a nice change to "normal" cider or lager and made me feel like I was drinking something summery and special.
