Strongbow

Strongbow is one of the most prevalent English hard ciders, and just about the only one you can reliably find in many American bars. Typical of English cider, Strongbow is dry, less wine-like than a French cider, and less foamy than an American cider. It has a mild, beer-like bite with a nice, fruity finish. The sweet taste and pleasing tang of a frosty Strongbow make for good, budget-conscious dinner drinking, especially with the greasy pub snacks you usually find in places that sell Strongbow.

As with most beers and ciders, draught Strongbow has a fresher, more robust flavor than canned. A 4-pack of Strongbow will run you about 8 bucks, which is a decent value for a genuinely refreshing cider.
