The summer blend was quite nice. Good mix of apple and pear.
tbh magners is better, and neither are "proper" cider.

I only drink water. After a discussion on which alcoholic beverages a hydrophiliac should try, I have determined to drink vodka if drunkeness is a required attribute of a person, but I rarely do.

I'll admit it. Fruity malt beverages are my choice of drink. They are delicious and it's easy to monitor how much alcohol I've had with them. Everything else gets me drunk so fast that I can't tell when I should stop drinking, so I'm either laying on the floor or stone-cold sober, depending on how much of a risk I'm willing to take on that particular occasion.

I'm a 20 year old girl, there is no shame in fruity alcohol.

I normaly mix drinks...Rye, Rum, Whiskey....mostly with pop....scotch must be drank by itself though.

If it's available: absinthe.
What I can easily get in America: Sam Adams or Maker's Mark.
What I can get here: Hansa or, when it's available, Laurentina.

Beer, such as:
- Jupiler
- Leffe
- Duvel
- Maes
- Palm
- Hoegaarden
- Mort Subite
- Orval (favorite)

Just had some Black Velvet and Molson Canadian.

I like mixing my beer with whiskey.

Oh, what the HELL!? You took that awfully spelt thread title and attributed it to ME? Most uncool.

I had a Campari and soda earlier, and then a Martinez (gin, dry vermouth, maraschino and Angostura bitters).

Fruity malt? What?

Also, I'm surprised that you're younger than me.

Oh, I don't think the Summer Blend was released in Ireland actually, It doesn't sound too bad, I only had either just apple or pear but I never saw a mix of them, also, The first recipe for the Pear version gave you the shits...

I've found Kopparberg to be much better for cider-but-not-with-apples

Ah man, the summer blend was freaking awsome.
Also never had the shits from the pear, so I think you may be ingesting it at the wrong end?

Never experienced it myself, but it was a common complaint, so much so that Bulmers "improved" the recipe a few months later.

I'm a straight Hard Liquor man and honestly I haven't tasted a hard liquor I don't like. Yes Jägermeister is fucking boss and I love that shit for days. Though Jack and Coke is the old stand-by.

Beer tastes like liquid shit and wine, well wine just isn't my style honestly.

I understand the problem was that the quality was too high. The stuff was full of concentrated pear juice, which was all too happy to take the fast lane from mouth to arse.

Is malt liquor distilled liquor?

I'm just surprised distilled liquor isn't one of the main options. I had to hit "Other". :eyebrow:

Difference between plain old "liquor" and "distilled liquor"

I think most people would understand 'liquor' as 'distilled alcoholic drink".

I can never read the word liqour without thinking of that terrible old joke with the punchline "liqour in the front, poker in the back".

Hopefully I've now shared this pain.
