Kopparberg flavours

nachos

So, I've discovered the joy that are Kopparberg ciders recently and I can't get enough of them. I've had the pear, apple and mixed fruits ones with the mixed fruits being the clear favourite.
I've been told that there are other flavours besides the ones I listed above. Does anyone know what these other flavours are and what they're like?

Cheers!

They are mixed drinks and not a cider at all, I'd suggest that they could do any flavours with them considering all they need to do is add flavouring to the same base mix each time.

Disappointing to find out it is nothing more than a flavoured water actually

seven per cent flavoured water at that

They are the only flavours available in Kopparbergs but there is a similar Swedish 'cider' called Halmstad available in dry lime; cactus lime; strawberry; pear to name a few.

I have an idea actually, you could make your own with a hygrometer to measure alcohol content, a bottle of that flavoured fizzy water and a bottle of vodka, genius, exactly like what they do in the Kopparburg factory, make any flavours you want, peach, raspberry, whatever.

Anywhere in Dublin? Strawberry seems to be the most wanted amoung friends, I'd go for the lime personally

Mc Hugh's off-licence in Kilbarrack Road and Artane have the full range from both Kopparbergs and Halmstad.

To translate for you uneducated fools : Pear, apple, cranberry, mixed berries, cloudberry, blueberry, strawberry. In no particular order.

Ha.. remember the pubcast? I couldn't get word with you...

Attol

Never listened to it all. CuLt told me he sounded American in it but never got the chance to hear it. I'm sorry!

monkeyfudge

haha.. well there is a lot of me shouting at you in a half hearted attempt to get your attention for an interview...

I managed to obtain a lenghtly interview with CuLT about bus time tables though.

I'm sure I comment quite a bit on Kopparberg too.

I'm off to download myself a copy so!

I'd call them more of a wine spritzer since the flavouring comes from fruit wines being diluted with water.

INGREDIENTS: CARBONATED WATER, PEARWINE, PEARJUICE, SUGAR, FLAVOURS, ACID; CITRIC ACID, PRESERVATIVE E202.


That's the ingredient label, I would dispute that it is even a proper spritzer, disappointing in any case. I tried the pear one in the foggy dew one day and was pleasantly surprised at the taste, but disgusted when I read the label that it was not actually a brewed cider, I reckon it's a clear case of mislabelling.

Thephantomsmask

The mixed fruit involves three different wines if I remember correctly. I really like kopparberg but I agree about it being total mislabelling, it seemed less unique to me after I read the label!

Over in Sweden on the weekend, I was told that these drinks are, how shall I say it, the Swedish equivalent to Bacardo Breezers, and no self-respecting man would be seen dead with one.
Shouldn't stop you having one here though...
