Dry or sweet?
Do you prefer dry cider or sweet cider?
With commercial ciders I like Dry Blackthorn, and some of the more expensive ones, like Thatcher's, that are guaranteed to be made only of apples.
I've also made my own cider, but, I have to admit, it was not a roaring success.
I must say I prefer the dry. I don't really go for any sweet drinks.
I'm the same with sparkling wine - I prefer dry.
Of the ciders I have tried, the drier ones have been better. I sampled my first cider this past weekend when I racked it to the secondary. It was pretty dry, but seemed pretty tastey. I will have to wait to see how it turns out.
Dry for sure, sweet tastes like a soda.
I've only ever had one really sweet cider. I liked the dry cider better overall but the sweet certainly had some nice flavor.
One other nice thing about a dry cider, if you want to make it sweeter, you can always add a sweetener when you drink it. With a sweet cider, there is no way to make it dryer.
Hey telegraph are you finding any US products overseas? I know liqour stores here carry quite a bit from overseas, though the quality is sometimes lacking due to the time in storage.
