Shoppers will be cider themselves as Aldi introduces a new range of ready-to-drink cider cans, which combine its award-winning spirits with tropical fruit flavours – perfect for bank holiday sipping and just 99p a can! Note that drinking an alcoholic beverage in public isn’t allowed in most parts of Sweden, so — if you get your drinks from Systembolaget — you almost always cannot take them to a park or waterfront and drink them. How old do I have to be to drink Swedish cider?

While regular Swedish cider is more popular abroad than it is domestically, it still has fans in Scandinavia’s largest country.The flavour was smooth and mellow, just sweet enough to offset the usual acidity of cider that makes it so distinctive. As soon as I raised it to my lips, I caught definite hints of the passionfruit, and the first sip confirmed those and the very characteristic mid-tones of Nashi as a base. I was hooked, from that first sip. Herrljunga Cider is one of the older Swedish cider brands we’ve mentioned, having been founded in the 1960s. However, it’s also one of the more experimental producers of Swedish cider, with a selection of unique flavors alongside its flagship apple and pear products. My wife simply adores Nashi Pears and enjoys a good passion fruit flavored item so I knew that this was a must try cider combination for the two of us. So far I haven't tried any cider in the Thomas and Rose brand and not liked it, all have been a hit in our household (even my mother in law gets to try some with us). I like the label design, it flows well and it makes it easy to spot on the shelf and recognize the brand. This is a small bottle but I was able to give both my wife, my mother in law and myself a serving of this lovely drink. As you can see from this list, several companies have jumped on the Swedish cider bandwagon — all bring their own unique twists to what has become an exciting sector. You will find some of the best hard ciders in the world, plus some softer ones. Moreover, the varieties of cider flavors are endless. If you plan to sample the best cider from Sweden, you’ll need to be at least 18 years old if you’re in Sweden. That’s the legal age for both buying drinks from Systembolaget and doing so while out, regardless of whether you have it with a meal.

If you want to try one of Mora’s cider drinks, you’ll find several options. The pear cider is one of the main options, but you can also give the pumpkin cider a go if you want to try something more unique. The cider has just a wonderful smooth taste, the nashi pear and passionfruit is a genius mix, sweet but not too sweet and it was just what I was looking for after a hard days work working tidying our section. I really liked that the cider wasn't over carbonated, which made it very drinkable. From mango and raspberry to watermelon and lime flavour, the new 99p Aldi range of summer tipples sounds super refreshing and are a REAL Aldi Specialbuy 🤤 It comes in a 500ml bottle (1.6 standard drinks) which I reluctantly split with my partner - he could really taste the passionfruit where I was tasting more of the sweet apple and pear. The labelling is simple yet striking and has a recycled feel to it and as far as price goes it is on par with other similar products. I have tried many ciders before from various different manufacturers, but I have to admit that this was the first time that I had heard of Thomas and Rose Fine Fruit Ciders, some ciders I have tried in the past have a very strong cidery taste to them that in my books is a bit to over powering and takes away the beautiful fruity flavours that a cider should have, so upon opening my bottle I was hoping that this wasn't going to be the case. I can happily say that this was very far from being the case, this was honestly and by far the most amazing tasting cider that I have ever tasted before! Will be great served over ice on those hot summer days we have to look forward to.The beverage itself is very enjoyable. The upon opening the bottle, the aroma is instantly prevalent. A strong pear scent. The cider itself is quite yellow in colour (more vibrant than the Appletiser beverage), and has medium carbonation. The flavour is smooth. Even taking small sips at a time, the bottle was finished within half an hour. Unlike most other ciders, which have a very strong apple flavour, this beverage tastes strongly of pear and passionfruit. I split this bottle of cider between myself and my husband. Now this cider is an apple cider with the flavours of Nashi Pear and Passionfruit in the mix too. The ingredients list makes it unclear if the flavours are achieved through fruit juice, fruit concentrate or flavouring. However, before the glass even got to my nose I could smell the pear. I mean, this pear aroma hit us both in the face! It is also the clear first flavour of this cider, which then finishes on a passionfruit taste. The brand initially had the idea of creating cider in the early phases of the 20th century, but — for multiple reasons — it didn’t really get off the ground.

Others that you can enjoy include passion fruit. You can find both alcohol and non-alcohol versions. I'm a big fan of Thomas & Rose cider after trying a couple of their other blends and I was really excited to try their newest flavour combination as nashi pears are one of my favourite fruits. The bottle clearly states that it is an Apple cider with added Nashi pear and Passionfruit but I was not disappointed, this product is absolutely divine - crisp, sweet and refreshing, smooth and fruity with just the right amount of sparkle. I was pleasantly surprised as I'm not a big fan of passionfruit but Thomas & Rose have got their blend just right. The company was founded in 2010, and it uses apples from Sweden’s northern regions to create the flagship product. If we translate the name Fruktstereo to English, it means “Fruit Stereo”. And as you might have expected from its name, this brand is huge on fruit. The company was founded in 2016, and its flagship bar is Bar Cuccurucucù, which is located in the center of Malmö — Sweden’s third-largest city.

Love shopping?

If you plan to visit Sweden sometime soon, you’ll most certainly want to try at least one of the brands on this list. But even if you’re not able to do so, you’ll find the largest ones also available in several countries elsewhere. Cider’s name is pretty easy to explain in Swedish. It means “Love Cider”, and — as you might expect — it’s exactly what cider lovers should think about trying. See these drinks are perfect for summer bbqs and two of these is all I need as they are a good size and each bottle contains a couple of glasses not just the one. Being a relatively low alcohol content they are appealing to me to drink because I am not a big drinker. However as they are so easy to drink (taste like fruit juice) I can see how you would definitely have to drink in moderation as they could quite easily sneak up on you. These days, you will find several flavors of Kopparberg on the shelves at Systembolaget. If you’re based in Britain, you will almost certainly have seen the strawberry and lime edition in the country’s supermarkets.

During the period between its early days and rekindling the intention to make Swedish cider, Kopparberg focused primarily on beer. But in 1994, it chose to give its first love another chance. Since then, things have gone pretty well; it’s expanded to several countries, including Greece and the UK. I have tried every flavour in the Thomas & Rose range so I was thrilled to see a new flavour being released. This is number 5 in the range, and comes in a 500 ml bottle. The bottle is made of brown glass which is generally better for the contents as it reduces the UV that can affect beverages. The label has a matt almost recycled feel to it and the beautiful watercolour splotch motif. The colours mixed on the label are perfect for representing Nashi Pear and Passionfruit. Mora Bryggeri is located in Mora, which — like DalaBryggeri — is in the central part of rural Sweden. The brewery was originally founded in 1872 and is in Dalarna County, meaning that you might want to try both this one and the previously-mentioned cider if you ever find yourself visiting the region. This article will provide a list of the best Swedish cider brands, and we’ll also tell you about other things you should know — such as age limits and where you can get them from. Where can I buy Swedish ciders in Sweden? It was originally founded in 1996 — not long after Kopparberg re-established its intention to bring cider to the Swedish market.

TOASTY TIPPLES! ALDI REVEALS AWARD-WINNING WINTER SPIRITS RANGE

Portion size only gets a 9/10 because it wasn't enough! This was one of the most more'ish ciders I have ever tasted, and this bottle triggered a craving in me for way more... to the point I did something I haven't done in years - I went and bought a case of it! I don't normally buy a case of anything. In addition to its Northern Swedish apples, Brännland Cider also uses a blend of fruit grown in the country’s south. Unlike some of the other Swedish cider brands we mention, Brännland Cider does not have a huge selection of products; instead, it focuses on honing a select few.
