Yes, if you did a double take recently at a Strongbow bottle, you’re not mistaken – Strongbow ciders now sport a glossy new 330ml bottle packaging, and three new flavours. The new flagship in their line up is the Strongbow Gold Apple, which is pretty much a classic cider. Joining it are Strongbow Elderflower and Strongbow Red Berries, both of which add a different and intriguing quality to the standard taste profile.

The new look and flavours seek to appeal to both genders, and is positioned to be a casual, ‘wind-down’ drink of choice at the end of a long day.

The new recipe was tweaked such that the cider is neither too sweet nor too tart. Strongbow also recommends their ciders to be drunk with ice cubes as you will first note a bold cider flavour followed by a distinct taste of fresh apples.

Tasting notes (official)

Strongbow Gold Apple
Strongbow Apple Cider_Gold AppleA “nice golden yellow” apple cider, the Strongbow Gold Apple is sweet and crisp with a pleasant green apple note. Lovely, refined apple bite and a light aftertaste of culinary apples, providing a very long finish. Alcohol content: 5% ABV

Strongbow Elderflower
Strongbow Apple Cider_ElderflowerThis pale apple cider is infused with elderflower and lime. It has a sweet floral aroma with hints of fresh fruits. The Strongbow Elderflower variant also possesses a natural slightly tangy zest and fresh lime flavours. Alcohol content: 4.5% ABV

Strongbow Red Berries
Strongbow Apple Cider_Red BerriesA full-flavoured deep Rosé apple cider with premium berries, it is juicy with hints of delicate berry and strawberry flavours. The sweetness of the apples is well-balanced by the acidity of the red fruits. The Strongbow Red Berries cider has a long finish and mild aftertaste of the culinary apples. Alcohol content: 4.5% ABV
