Alpen Cereal, Original, 14-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Let me get this out of the way: Amazon shipped this to me quick and did a great job so this review is not their fault.

I grew up in the UK and still have family that lives there that will send over Alpen Original whenever they can. I had no idea until last week that you could even purchase Alpen in the US.

I read the reviews and everyone says "this is great just like I remembered". Perhaps these people are used to the Canadian/North American version of this but let me assure you that this is NOT like the UK.

This version is more like rasin bran + muesli. It has bran flakes and a different consistency. It's not bad per se but just not at all what I expected. The UK version is closer to oatmeal and muesli together. This version doesn't soak up the milk quite the same but it does stay crunchier.

Perhaps its always been this way but I won't be ordering this version anymore and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for the UK version.

Alpen in the red box was my absolute favorite cereal. However, the box recently changed to brown, and along with that so did the taste. I did some searching on the web, and confirmed what I found by comparing the ingredients: they are no longer organic ingredients, and are listed in a different order. The change took place in the UK a couple years ago and it has now happened here in the USA. If the new taste doesn't grow on me, I will have to find another cereal. I wonder if anyone else who purchases on Amazon has noticed the change.

I grew up on Alpen and it is still my favorite cereal after 30+ years of enjoying it! It is very difficult to find so I am very happy that Amazon is selling it. Alpen has a light sweet flavor to it and a wonderful consistency. The almonds and raisins are not overbearing (I normally don't like either in anything, but for some reason they are great in Alpen!). I highly recommend this cereal. Add fresh fruit for added tastiness.

I was excited to receive this after I found out that Amazon sells Alpen. When I tried it, it was good but something different from what I remembered in the UK. I checked the box and this version is made in Canada. I suppose it's the same formula, but something different, which I can't tell what. So I'm not complaining as this is as good, but wanted the others to know. Since I have no choice, I'll keep ordering it, but if Amazon can get the UK version, that'd be great!

I fell in love with Alpen when I lived in the UK. The only version readily available in the US is the Canadian version. I couldn't live without it, but it's not the same as in the UK. If the UK version were available at the same price, I would be thrilled!
