Kiss strawberry cider

tonton zola

Saw this for the first time and has me intrigued.

Has anyone tasted it?

*Tripper*

I've had strawberry cider before and it was VERY sweet. I wouldn't have more then one bottle because of its sweetness.

Cans were €2.50.

Might pick up one, just to see. I can imagine it would be rather sweet

Yeah, I've heard of the Kiss ciders being quiet sweet. There was another strawberry one made by brothers. Quite nice I've only seen it in a few places like eurospars.

I tried a bottle of Strawberry & Lime cider the other week & it wasn't too bad... a little too sweet for my liking but perfectly alcoholic

I posted up a thread about this Kiss cider lark about a year ago. My opinion since then has changed. I used to think it was the most amazing new product going, but um, no.

If you drink it, make sure you drink it chilled... reeeeally chilled. The only thing I can equate it to in that respect is flavoured bottled water, same "gank when not frozen" kinda quality.

There's a wildberry, wine spritzer, rose wine spritzer, pear, cherry and "spice" flavour. Oh wait, there's also kiss "light" which is melon&raspberry flavour.

Think it's Lithuanian, or at least the company that imports it is Lithuanica.

Doesn't taste as fruity as most ciders we'd be used to, there's normally only a slight hint of the flavour, which is why it's quite refreshing. Pretty sweet and lacking a dry bite that most cider drinkers would like, yet lacking the super fruity flavour of the kopparbergs or rekorderligs.

Again... the best parallel I can draw is between fruit juice - fanta - flavoured water. Kiss being the flavoured water.

I know Molloys in Nutgrove were doing a special offer on 6 cans for €8, but I dunno if that's still on.

They sell it in The Czech Inn in Dublin. I've not been tempted.

Nah, I tasted it at room temperature . I think everything has its place, and I'm not opposed to something sweet at times (though I draw the line at WKD etc, ick)
