good cider. sweet taste of apples, not to carbonated. leaves a nice tingle on the front of the tongue and a dryness on the back. i prefer it out of the bottle, i was first introduced to it by a bunch of irishmen while in dublin watching the football (soccer) game and we only drank it out of the bottle. man can they drink this stuff! great for the fall!

Aroma is kind of bad, like sour grapes and a wet horse saddle, didn’t seem appealing initially at all. No head, okay colour, sort of a yellow-gold tint to it. Taste is pretty good, nice dry finish, very easy drinkability, good for many many pints. Found on tap at a pub in Dublin, where it belongs.

Pours outstanding rusty orange with nice carbonation, cider aromas some bretty qualities with soaked leather, olives, and apricot notes, flavor is a bit flat and too sweet, sweet apples, lemon, cheese liquid and fresh leaves, quite watery. Overall a nice cider

Draft at the Dubliner in St. Louis. Pours clear gold with a small white head that disappers quickly. Notes of red apple, yeast, dry white wine, and sugar. Very easy to drink, light bodied, smooth, and sweet. Mild, without much tartness. This seems to me to be the typical cider I’d find in an Irish/English-style bar in the States, so I felt like I’d had it a dozen times before. Nothing special.

Bottle. Not sure why I bought this as I haven’t had a cider in 10-12 years, nor have I had the desire to. Poured over ice as seems to be the common way to drink this one. Pours orange/gold and clear with no head. Smells of apples, some pear and slightly musky notes. Sweet with slightly drier finish. Meh.

can 500 ml
Appearance: unusual bright copper gold look without any foam.
Nose: Red wild apple tartness , decent depth , hint of champagne dryness.
Flavor/Palate : medium sweet for cider. Light tart body with thin character at finish. Apple character quiet hidden. Underdeveloped.

As Magners Original Irish Cider from Geoffrey’s Of London, Antibes, shared with heavy
Poured an orange body. Dry corky acidic nose. Corky empty sweet taste, slighty acidic too at tames. Not impressive but not bad.

Magners is hard to find here in MN, and it looks like it gets a bad rap. I really like it, but we cam across this in England, they were drinking it on the rocks. This seems to cut some of the sweetness and makes it very refreshing.
