Strongbow

For the last 2 weeks, I have noticed a lot of Strongbow advertisements along King St W, Toronto in Bus shelters and establishments of that neighbourhood. The main ad is an arrow shattering a glass with the slogan Shatter Expectations. Ads do not usually work on me but I have finally satisfied my curiosity on this beverage last night while eating some hot Dragon Wings.

Contrary to my previously formed expectation of the drinks from the ads, Strongbow is not a beer but a cider with alcohol in it.
  • Hop: None
  • Flavour: Very fruity and sweet with little carbonation. You should be able to notice apple flavour from the drink.
  • Aftertaste: It tastes good and you want more, pretty soon your glass will be empty.
  • Overall: The alcohol taste is very well hidden in the cider taste. The nice flavour might speed up the rate that you are drinking the beverage. I highly recommend this strange brew for those who have an aversion to beer but still want to get a buzz going.

This is one of my fav beers, I guess because it doesn't really taste like beer.

Yeah, it's not a beer even though it is listed among other actual beers in the premium category.
