Yep, but I refuse to pay Fuller's to buy it, £3.65 a pint in my local Fuller's pub [dictated by brewer it seems] and 3.40 in one also local to me, not a big decision to make IMOOriginally Posted by hondo

Sounds like yet another rip-off drink for Fuller's to add to their "portfolio".
Surely low alcohol cider is an oxymoron?

I would say an enjoyable pint of Strongbow is more of one, or to extend it an enjoyable pint of anything from the Global Corporate Abominations.
Until the recent Spoons Cider Fest I would have agreed, but the Mr Whitehead's Strawberry Cider at a pathetic 4% remains one of my top three from the sixteen ciders. It had a big apple taste and a very clear strawberry taste.
I don't necessarily have a problem with the re-launch of a traditional style - it could be viewed as the cider equivalent of a boy's bitter. However, the pricing issue is key. The article states that the brand is aimed at the premium on-trade, which probably tells you all you need to know.
