    Was going to make a similar thread. Had six bottles last night watching the match and ended up coming home because it was so bad. Just pure liquid coming out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,608 ✭✭✭✭sceptre


    Bulmers pear is a far nicer drink after you shake it to get rid of the excess fizz.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,230 ✭✭✭chem


    Folks not messing ........this stuff should be on pe(a)rcription only. The stomach was like a bubble machine gone nuts. After the 3rd :rolleyes: pint it was like pulling the pin on a grenade. Only 10 seconds to get rid of it:o Is it an evil joke by Bulmers R&D department?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,391 ✭✭✭Captain-America


    I tried it for the first time last night also. Only had the one can though. No side effects for me. Nothing worse than usual anyway.

    Your pears must not have been ripe.

    I drank 7 cans of it 3 weeks ago and no nasty visits to the bog :confused:

    I have to say it is pretty tasty too.

    No prob here except didn't like the canned stuff, I've downed several bottles on a few occasions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,262 ✭✭✭✭Joey the lips


    Have not tried it yet have been drinking koppenberger for a while though and I imagine bulmers will taste good

    My side effect on cider is I get massive thirst in the morning, wake up with furry mouth ( Your ma before you say it):D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 71 ✭✭mewmoo


    Haven't had it yet, but most cider makes me take more trips to the bathroom than beer would.

    If you've been drinking koppenberger for a while do try the Bulmers, it takes like crap and you'll have a horrible fake pear taste in your mouth the next day on top of your hangover.

    I'd prefer the runs than what you get after a night on Guinness.
    My life was never the same after the first big black.

    Hello!!!!

    Just because YOU don't want to know doesn't mean no one wants to know.

    I found it a very informative and interesting post tbh.

    Guinness. A very efficient laxative for me. And disgusting stuff too, like beer dregs.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,977 ✭✭✭mp3guy


    Yeah, first time I had it I had 4 cans, and things were running free by the end of the night.

    Seems like this is a common problem.

    speaking of cider
    has anyone tried that new DIXONS CIDER .

    my girlfriend likes to make a hot toddy out of it .she heats it up in a pot .


    she loves " hot dixons cider ":D:D:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    No side effects for me and it's been my regular drink since it has basically come out.

    On an unrelated but related note, when it first came out, my brother had the following exchange with a barman in a certain nightclub;

    Brother: Do you sell Bulmers Pear?

    Barman: What?

    Brother: Bulmers Pear Cider.

    Barman: Sorry we don't sell gay drinks.

    Brother: Ah c'mon that's an out and out lie, what about the multiple fridges full of WKD so?

    Barman: *laughs in defeat*

    :pac:

    Coffee usually does the trick for me. One cup and the inside of the toilet bowl looks like the top of a McDonalds chocolate sundae.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,203 ✭✭✭partyguinness


    I tried it in England a few weeks back.

    Not impressed. A bit tasteless and not much to differentiate from apple cidar. Not as fizzy and just a tad sweeter. I might as well have been drinking normal apple cidar.

    What about if you work just because you like it and you don't need the money?

    It's a perry not a cider...actually its probably just an alcho-pop like kopparberg.

    anyway bulmers in awful muck... 4.5%? **** off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭Nick_oliveri


    I too have "pissed out my arse" after the Pear Bulmers. It only dawned on me the second time/night that it was the drink. And then I drank it again the third time.

    Its tasty. Way nicer than Kopparberg.

    Fortified wine is for the real homeless. Only the yuppie, wannabe homeless drink cider.

    Next time you have bad diarrhoea, I mean the totally watery stuff.

    Swallow a few spoonfuls of sweetcorn without chewing them at all.

    It doesn't help at all, but your body doesn't digest them so they pop out whole.

    Feels funny, looks funny, is funny.

    Perry is an alcoholic beverage made of fermented pear juice. It is similar to cider, in that it is made using a similar process and often has a similar alcoholic content, up to 8.5% alcohol by volume. The term Pear Cider is sometimes used, and is equivalent to perry.

    I wouldn't dream of it madam.

    But I do enjoy cider (I do work, but not yet homeless:p) and Bulmers is the second worst cider i have ever tasted (the worst being Frosty Jacks) and I am constantly astonished by the thousands of seemingly normal intelligent people I see drinking it every week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    I have been told by hardend drinkers that have tried it that its best to drink while sitting on the pot.

    light may not pass through you but the sh!t will. Enbrace the pear. Embrace the jax


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 991 ✭✭✭SuperGrover


    Is "Bulmers Pear Cider" not just Ritz re-packaged to get blokes to drink it?
