Hey there was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am looking for a cider that seems to have disappeared. Heard a rumor that its not being made anymore. Called Special K. Had a conversation with someone about different ciders and I heard I've got to try it. Still Hopeful, Mel

Just to let you know, a few places that stock Original Sin include Whitehorse Tavern, Corner Bistro, Spring Street Lounge, Max Fish, Walker's and Whole Foods - Downtown. thanks for the mention btw. -gidon www.origsin.com

Strongbow = English, not American. It's been around for over a century. I think it's nearly perfect. I'll agree, though.. Woodchuck is too sweet.

Doc's makes an amazing pear cider too. Woodpecker Cider from england is great too, because its very dry and crisp. American cider such as Woodchuck and Strongbow are way too sweet for my tastes, defintely created for the broader American market that craves sugar above all real flavor.

I've tried a lot of ciders, but Strongbow is still my favorite.
