It easily is the biggest selling cider with declining 'on trade' sales as other breweries introduce their
own ciders (Stella Cidre, Sommersby etc.)and force their will on the Pub Co. estates and free trade accounts. No true cider drinker would choose Strongbow but if it is the only product available then cider drinkers are known to stick to the concept of alcoholic apples rather than switch to bitter, lager, stout or whatever. TITS!

The still and naturally carbonated ciders rarely have the taste you describe and the Normandy ciders are deightful.

I think the fact that it's only drunk by backwards yokels in places where they can't brew proper beer is as much evidence as anybody needs for its alleged qualities
I don't mind a slug of calvados from time to time. Fermented orchard droppings are fit only for pigs and the Cornish.

Strongbow, Magners and the other mega-mass-produced ciders
To me they taste like they sterilised the bottles with sodium metabisulphate and didn't bother rinsing them afterwards.
