Default FUIC- light and strong

For the south aussies out there, who has tried the new range of farmers union iced coffee.

so far is think that light just taste like a weak cold coffee, and does not taste very good.

strong is alot better than light and is just stong enough that you get that stong bitter aftertaste from coffee.

still though you cant beat the original.

The new FUIC strong is quite good, however i think you meant to say FUIC > Medoori followed by Sambucca chasers.

Guinness is without comparison.

But it's no FUIC.

I tried the light yesterday... and it was what i expected. I cant stand artificial sweetner (tastes like rubbish and the stuff is verging on poison for the body). For people who drink stuff like 'feel good' but prefer the taste of FUIC, it's probably a good option. I would have preferred it to have no sugar at all rather than the artificial stuff. Not for me, but I reckon it'll be popular.

The strong is gold. 0.7% coffee powder instead of 0.4% i think. Still a very definitive FUIC flavour, the extra strength is great. The one criticism i had of original FUIC was that sometimes i felt like something with a stronger flavour. FUSIC fills the void perfectly.

I'll prob be drinking the Strong during the day, it has the potential of staple diet status... keep the original as more of an 'after dinner' iced coffee.

now that the hype has gone down about them, they are no longer sold out at most places.

Bought a 2 litre FUIC strong on the way home from work about 9am. Just about to finish it off now. It's that good.

Settle down there Walki...you are getting way ahead of yourself.

I have had FUIC only once before, and I must say it did taste rather good. I do like Ice Break...but don't have Ice Coffee enough to make an educated decision. I will just say that they are both better than Big M.

ice break does not compare to FUIC, and FUSIC is better than FUIC. ice break is more like FULIC. lol

Im yet to anounce a verdict on the FUSIC. Ive only had 6 or 7 so the palate hasn't been able to take full account of any subtle undertones.
