Yeah, you'll usually see that referred to as "hard cider" here. Though, it's worth pointing out that even American hard ciders are sickeningly sweet. There's a pub near me that has Strongbow, and I've become a big fan.

Strongbow is basically a piss in the UK. Sorry for you, guys, that you don't have proper cider over there.

Strongbow, the Budweiser of ciders 🤢

Yeah, Strongbow and Magners are intensely sweet, like the Kool aid of ciders.

Yeah most of the popular brands you see are way too sweet. I do love me a nice dry/crisp hard ciderr though. My all time favorite is Woodchuck's Granny Smith flavor.

I've also had a pear cider which was super light and crisp. I think it was Wyders on draft.

If you can find it, Austin Eastcider is good too!

Blackbird Cider Works in Buffalo, NY makes some good dry & semi-dry ciders. They're in grocery stores all over western New York, but not elsewhere (too small). There are others who make nice ciders elsewhere, but none of the big national chains do.
