Redish pour with no head. Weak scent. Most apply of the ciders I rated tonight. Nice pleasant warming effect. Little to no aftertaste. Nice.

Bottle. This is a golden peach colour. It has a mild, sweet aroma of fresh apples. Mouthfeel is crisp, bubbly on the tongue, medium in body. It tastes of sweet then slightly tart, fresh apple with a slight, lingering finish.

Bottle at Fitzers Restaurant, Temple Bar, Dublin. Clear gold, with defined bubble trails. Beautiful flavour, being light and sweet, with a pleasantly smooth aftertaste. A very nice cider.

Bottle - Clear. Pinkish orange. Sweet, apple, dry finish. Fairly plane and simple.

A decent cider. Pounded quite a few while working in Alice springs. Would purchase again.

Clear, golden. Aroma and flavour of apples. Moderate carbonation, half dry. Not exactly a very exciting cider, but nice anyway. Is very close to Magners Original Irish Cider, but lacks the subtle touch of oak of the latter. [50 cl bottle, Meny, Carl Berner, Oslo]

Pours a nice sparkling golden colour fairly clear with a head that disappeared pretty quickly. Aroma was pretty much just fruit. Taste was overwhelmingly sweet, light with lots of carbonation. Overall not a fan of this, but cider is not my thing anyway.

Bottled, 568 ml. Pours clear yellow with a white head. Aroma: Apple juice. Taste: Pretty sweet. Light bitterness. Sugar. Palate: Quite light body, high carbonation. Quite dry finish.

568ml bottle, brown. Deep golden yellow colour, next to no head but some lacing. Medium carbonation, oily(!) mouth feel. Aroma of fresh, citric apples and some booze. Medium-dry taste of ripe apples, again with a welcome citric note. It is not "sugary", as some people claim - clearly, people who have never tasted any other ciders before (ever tried Kopparberg?). Fruit and a slight citric bitterness are well-balanced, and the sour note lingers, as does the noticeable, but well-integrated alcohol. A real "session cider", if there is such a thing. Do not confuse with the Irish "Bulmers" cider, which is sold in England and internationally as "Magners" - this here is the original English Bulmers cider. Well, they’re all owned by Heineken anyway - but they don’t taste the same - Magners is sweeter! Very good "recreational" drink.

pours with minimal head, medium carbonation, medium size bubbles. Lots of filtered apple juice flavour, but in there is an aggressive sugar component. Finishes medium clean but rather plain. Slightly above average cider.
