I was introduced to this fine UK collegiate-style drink this weekend by my sister-in-law's most excellent boyfriend, Eddie. It's quite tasty, and definitely sneaks up on you. It's made by mixing a dry cider and a lager.
Depending on your lager choice, you may need to add more cider to gain the desired level of sweetness.

5 oz Stella Artois Belgian Lager
5 oz Strongbow Cider
Combine ingredients in a Pilsner glass and enjoy.
Adding black currant turns it into a Snake Bite Black.

Change the ratio a bit, and it becomes a Purple Nasty.
