If you love Kopparberg’s fruity ciders, you’ll know they’ve built their name on bold, sweet flavours that are perfect for summer days and nights out. But lately, the brand has been shaking things up - introducing a few new products that feel more grown-up, a bit stronger, and designed for different occasions.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s new and how these drinks differ from the classic Kopparberg range we all know.
1. Sweet Vintage Range – Same Flavours, Bigger Kick
This is probably the most noticeable change. Kopparberg’s Sweet Vintage range takes their two most popular flavours - Strawberry & Lime and Mixed Fruit - and turns the volume up.
The key difference? They’re 7% ABV. That’s about 2–3% stronger than the normal Kopparberg ciders, which usually sit around 4–4.5%. The flavour is still recognisably Kopparberg, fruity, sweet, and easy to drink, but with a deeper, richer taste and a slightly heavier feel.
It’s clear Kopparberg is aiming this at people who want something a bit stronger without moving away from the fruit-cider taste they love. Think of it as your “Friday night” version of Kopparberg — same fun flavour, just with more of a kick.
If you usually find fruit ciders a bit light, this one will probably hit the spot. It’s still smooth and sweet, but it feels a little more grown-up.
2. Crisp Apple – Back to the Classic Cider Roots
While the Sweet Vintage range goes stronger, Crisp Apple goes simpler. This one brings Kopparberg back to where cider started - apples.
Compared to the brand’s fruity options, Crisp Apple is less sugary and has more of that natural apple tang. It’s not dry or bitter like some traditional English ciders, though; it keeps that easy-drinking sweetness Kopparberg is known for, just in a lighter, cleaner way.
It feels like a smart move - something for people who love the brand but sometimes want a less “fruit-bomb” experience. Perfect for afternoons or quieter drinks when you’re not in the mood for the big berry flavours.
3. Party Pack – One Box for Everyone
The Party Pack is Kopparberg’s take on convenience and inclusivity. It’s a mixed pack with several popular flavours - Strawberry & Lime, Mixed Fruit, Pear, Spiced Apple - and even includes some alcohol-free cans.
This is a great idea for get-togethers, BBQs, or parties where not everyone drinks the same thing (or drinks at all). Instead of buying multiple packs, you can just grab one box and have something for everyone.
It also shows how the brand is thinking about real-life drinking moments, not just individual purchases. It’s about making it easy to host without sacrificing variety or taste.
So, What’s Different About These New Releases?
Overall, Kopparberg seems to be expanding beyond its usual “sweet, fruity, and low-strength” image. Here’s what stands out:
Stronger options: Sweet Vintage brings extra strength for people who want more of a buzz without changing flavour.
Simpler, cleaner taste: Crisp Apple appeals to those who love cider but prefer something less sweet.
Convenience and variety: The Party Pack means no more juggling multiple boxes - it’s a one-stop shop for mixed groups.
These new releases show that Kopparberg isn’t just about adding new flavours anymore. They’re adapting to how people actually drink - some want higher strength, some want lighter, some want options for all their friends.
If you’ve been a fan of Kopparberg for a while, these new products feel like natural next steps. They still have that trademark fruity sweetness, but with more flexibility: stronger for nights out, classic for casual drinks, and mixed for social occasions.
So whether you’re planning a party, chilling in the garden, or just fancy trying something a bit different, Kopparberg’s latest line-up gives you a few new reasons to stay loyal to the brand - and maybe even discover a new favourite.
