That's like saying Purple Strongbow is like Hunts Pixie Juice! I've had other perrys though, proper ones. Still not keen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen they have the same available for Old Rosie elsewhere...but how do you carry it around? Do you decant it into a big bottle or something for the daytime?

I carry a 3 litre flagon on my hip - and leave the boxes in rucksacks in the lock-ups - that's what they're there for isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past, I've frozen it in 2l bottles. I like my cider, but 20l in 6 weeks is a bit of a struggle for me. It doesn't sound too bad, but you end up turning into farmer Bean after a while, but not as clever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freezing it might be a good shout. Although normally, I take three or so boxes of wyld wood and its all gone by Friday and I resort to Thatchers or other drinks. I'm thinking of taking more this time as I don't like the sound of this Mallet's (is it's like strongbow!) and a couple of my friends are driving down, but 20Ls is indeed an awful lot!!

The cloudy lemon is pretty horrible if I'm honest - like Haze but sweetness turned up another notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
