What does Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime fruit cider look like?

Although the dark glass bottle hides it, you can probably guess what a strawberry based fruit cider is going to look like.

It’s actually a shame the full colour isn’t visible before buying it, maybe it’s just me, but the dark bottle might not be as inviting as a clear one – especially in summer!

The cider sits in the wine glass with a relaxing pink hue like calm bath water after throwing in a pink bath bomb – worried where I was going with that?

Streams of small bubbles rise to the top like chains of ants escaping a flooding ant hill – Can you tell I watched Antz over the Christmas holidays?

How does Kopparberg Strawberry and lime smell?

Yeah, I’m not sure if I like the smell. It’s odd and way more complicated than you’d think for a well-known cider. The burst of strawberry at the start is nice but it leads into a blend of apple and is just a bit sickly. It basically starts sweet but ends up a little odd similar to the lifecycle of an adolescent. Me. I’m talking about me.

What does Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime taste like?

Lets talk about the taste of Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime. It definitely delivers. It has a really well balanced flavour, with the sweetness of strawberry and the tartness of lime coming through in every sip. The strawberry flavour is prominent, but not overpowering, and the lime adds a nice touch of acidity that helps to cut through the sweetness. The cider has a medium body and a crisp, refreshing finish that makes it a great choice for a summer drink.

This cider reminds me of strawberry yoghurt. It’s really pleasant and moreish. It’s not too sweet or too tart, and the combination of strawberry and lime is unique and well-balanced. The cider is also smooth and easy to drink, making it a good choice for people who aren’t necessarily fans of traditional apple cider.

Overall, the taste and flavour of Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime Cider is definitely a highlight and one of the reasons why it’s so popular.

Is Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime vegan friendly?

Yep! All Kopparberg fruit ciders are vegan friendly and they’re also gluten-free.

Final thoughts

Like with most Swedish exports, they’ve perfected something, made it efficient and made it accessible. Kopparberg’s Strawberry and Lime is a respectable, user-friendly, fruit cider that’s refreshing and crispy for hot summers.
