Scrumpy Jack

Does anyone else find a can of Scrumpy Jack affects them more than any other cider? Or any other alcoholic beverage that they've consumed for that matter? I find that just one can of the stuff affects me more than 2/3 pints of Strongbow/Sirus/Bulmers you name it. It affects me more than 2/3 glasses of double vodka red bull too.
not so much scrumpy (well a little bit) but whenever i have the 'local' cider when on holiday.... knocks my socks off, whilst leaving me with a blinding headache in the mornin'.

Ahh good times
Scrumpy does have a really bad effect....but not as bad as half a pint of old rosie, then Im gone! I am a girl i suppose.....!

I :love: Scrumpy Jack - those huge bottle things you can get in Somerset / Dorset... yummy

Think it can be strong - just check the percentage next time!! :wink:
Nah I know the percentage in a can, 6%. I was really happy tonight as I found out the pub I was in actually does pints of the stuff :biggrin:. According to one of the blokes I was drinking with CheGriffin, and I now know this is the test between a cider and scrumpy, Scrumpy Jack isn't actually scrumpy as you can see through it.
HenBean I was told to get a some Old Rosie tonight, but I was quite content with my Scrumpy Jack but will definitely try some next time, as one of the other blokes I was drinking with told me it was good stuff.

oh, didn't know that... (there's something to do with the apples as well if i'm not mistaken - taken from the gound or summat like that)
anyhoos' i don't s'pose anyone knows if Sainsbury's et al sell it? (i know it probably won't taste as good but it is nice....:biggrin: )

i think i might have to get me some this wkend
