Is it not sweet or dry which determines cloudiness.

This and the order in which they pour it and the cleanliness of the glass

its got to be cloudy to be a snakebite, if its not cloudy its shite cider.

am drinking me 6th pint as we chat.

merrydown cider at 6% and special brew at 9%, and its barely cloudy.

blackthorn cider, or old rosie, are the best for snakies.

Nah I've had both recently and both were clear. Probably all the chemicals in the beer these days. I remember Stella/scrumpy snakies in the stables about 10 years ago, 5 pints and ya were on ya arse!

Isn't that what Biill Bailey used to drink when he was an alchy but with a double vodka in? Sounds like a drink of champions. Might have to try it tomorrow
