Question Strongbow goes vibrant, ditching black and gold palette for first time ever



used to be



I am not keen at all. J

Heineken UK has unveiled Strongbow's 'biggest' and 'boldest' redesign to
attract a new generation of cider drinkers. The brand's black and gold colour
, which was first created in 1960, will be replaced with a new colourful design,
however will still feature Strongbow's archer logo.

Trying to appeal to the kids .

To be fair, the ONLY acceptable time to drink Strongbow was as a Uni student, because it came in a 2L plastic bottle that was cheaper than Coca Cola... so it is basically for teenagers.

I say that as someone who prefers cider to beer as well. Compared to an actually decent cider, Strongbow is like struggling your way through a glass of piss.

I guess it looks fine. Whatevs.

No matter what the cans look like, Strongbow will always taste a bit ... "second hand"

When it comes to cheap cider, Frosty Jack rules the roost.

No grown adult should be drinking Strongbow

The yellow and black branding was awful though so this is an improvement

But ‘think of the children who might be attracted to fancier branding.’

For Cider you can't beat Magners imo.
