The new Strongbow flavors are uninspired and are just one of the many terrible ciders that have come into the market. The original Strongbow is not even available in kegs, so fans of the original can't even get it at their local establishment.

I have been a loyal customer of Strongbow for over 15 years and I am writing to let you know how pissed off I am about the label change and more importantly the flavor! Let me ask you guys something...have you ever seen Coca-Cola or Pepsi change the original flagship flavor of their soda? No! They have kept their original recipes for over a century, but added other flavors (Zero, cherry, diet, etc.) to their brand over time, which is what Strongbow should have done. I truly enjoy the crisp, refreshing, dry taste of the original Strongbow, but you guys had to go and muck it all up to reinvent the wheel, as they say, when it was already great! Needless to say, the extra sweetness sucks! You might as well start calling it a wine cooler instead of cider. Of course, I've resorted to calling all local liquor and grocery stores to buy up what is left of the original Strongbow. Now, lets talk about the label. The original label was awesome, and again, no changes were needed. The archer label was bold and strong, almost iconic in my opinion among other well established brand labels, like Coca-Cola! You can see the archer pulling back on the arrow shooting for the sky, with the bow embracing him. The new stick figure is comparable to the one from Lucasfilm games (look it up). Bottom line, you guys need to fire personnel from your marketing department and return the original flavor and label to the shelves as soon as possible. As soon as all of my original Strongbow runs out, I am switching to Magners! Respectfully, Marco S.

Don't like the sweet variety. In fact I hate any sweet alcoholic drinks and I'm a girl. Dry all the way. I'll stick to dry wine, champagne and mojitos (unsweet, of course) unless I can find another dry cider.

I enhoy Strongbow, and it's the only one my wife will drink! There's a reason it (was) the #1 hard cider, and it's not because it followed trends demanded by ridiculous hipster types.

You're terrible people for discontinuing the original flavor. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Tailgating is ruined.

If I wanted Woodchuck, I'd buy Woodchuck!
and the 16.9 oz cans are better than the bottles!
Bring back the Bow!
Oh how I miss the sweet dryness of the Original!!
