I got utterly wasted on evil scrumpy [1] when I was about 18, and my body just rejects cider out of hand as a result. Honksville welcomes careful pukers. [1] "Cloudy?

I hate the taste of beer and lager Well, cold lager ok-ish, but, as the real ale drinkers love to point out, cold lager doesn't really taste of much. Every time I've tasted bitter, it's done exactly what it says on the tin - it's bitter. I don't like bitter things. I've only ever had one pint of Guinness, and that was in Dublin. Foul stuff. So, cider it is. >but I do have to confess >that my palate never grew up (the rest of me doesn't want to either!)

I like cider too.. and it doesn't give me hangovers after a couple of pints like (most) beers do[1]. Mind you my favourite at the moment is the Aspalls Dry. Very nice. Phil.

If you can get it, Franziskaner Hefe-Weißbier is the one to go for IMO - I got rather a taste for that one in Munich t'other month.

IME, F H-W is not often on the Majestic list.
