Magners / Bulmers Irish Cider (C&C Group) Reviews

Raistlin	3.1 Magners Original Classic mass produced cider. Nothing to write home about but not bad. Dry, low acidity. Full body, lively carbonation. Apple taste. Tuesday, April 9, 2024
mrf33n3y	3.2 Magners Original Old Untappd checkin, June 21, 2016. Pours a clear deep gold with a very faint white head. Medium rich apple flavor that finishes a little dry. Wednesday, March 27, 2024
weizen-slayer	2.6 Magners Dark Fruit Rote Farbe, rötlicher Schaum. Herbe Johannisbeere zum Einstieg, dann wird es milder und süßer. Von Brombeeren merkt man jetzt etwas mehr, von den Äpfeln so gut wie nichts. Ein Hauch von Waschpulver fliegt vorbei. Auf der Zutatenliste findet man Zucker, Süßstoff und Geschmacksverstärker - aha, das erklärt so einiges. Von letzterem hätte man ruhig mehr verwenden können - das ganze ist recht wässrig. Oder einfach den ganzen künstlichen Müll weglassen und mehr echte, gute Früchte nehmen - so wie es eigentlich sein sollte. Saturday, March 2, 2024
weizen-slayer	2 Magners Original Golden, leicht rötlich im Glas. Fruchtiger Sekt in der Nase. Herber Einstieg, deutlich alkoholiger als die angegeben 4,5 % erwarten lassen. Die Fruchtaromen brauchen eine Sekunde um sich zu entfalten. Ab dem Mittelteil wird es vergoren medizinisch - erinnert an Erdbeeren, die man besser vor 4 - 5 Tagen hätte essen sollen. Das Etikett gibt an, dass hier 17 verschiedene Apfelsorten verwendet wurde - gilt „Verfault“ als eigene Apfelsorte? „Since 1935“ steht außerdem auf dem Etikett - ein paar der verwendeten Äpfel sind offenbar noch aus dem Gründungsjahr. Weil ich in den Geschäften kaum noch Biere finde die mich interessieren bewerte ich inzwischen auch schon Cidre. Das ist bis jetzt der Tiefpunkt. Das ist das Aldi-Bier in der Plastikflasche unter den Cidres. Noch trinkbar - aber irgend eine Art von Genuss kommt da nicht wirklich auf. Thursday, February 8, 2024

Grzesiek79	2.1 Magners Orchard Berries Light kolejne smakowe, nisko alkoholowy cydr, zblizony do rose, czy lepszy, trudno powiedziec w kazdym razie delikatne, bez innych cech. wodniste, mocniej schlodzone po prostu znikaja wszelakie estry zapachowe i zwlaszcza smakowe Sunday, July 30, 2023
pennykoekert	2 Magners Classic Pear A bit more taste than apple Friday, July 21, 2023
leszke	5 Magners Orchard Berries Jakieś jagody w zapachu, truskawki chyba? Klarowne, czerwone, zero piany. Wysoko wysycone, w smaku jest coś co się kojarzy z truskawka, czuć jabłka, niezłe owocowe, mi podchodzi dużo lepiej niż Bulmers z jagodami, on był przegięty a to jest takie w punkt. Saturday, July 15, 2023
leszke	5 Magners Original Pachnie sokiem jabłkowym, barwa ciemnozłota klarowna bez piany, ale wysoko wysycone. Smak normalnie jak świeży sok jabłkowy, kurde sztos. Saturday, July 15, 2023
Grzesiek79	2 Magners Rosé takie sobie truskawkowe cydrowe soczkowy napoj, cydro-podobny. Jasne rozowe niczym platki rozy, delikatne, zwykle wodniste, no ale na lato jako izotonic moze jako tako byc. Saturday, July 8, 2023

peerwolfs	2.5 Magners Blonde Low Carb Cider Saturday, December 3, 2022
PlutonowyMan	2.7 Magners Dark Fruit Kolor bordowy, klarowny. Piana pojawiła się właściwie na chwilę. Była biała i niska, zredukowała się do mało imponującego pierścienia. W aromacie na pierwszym planie jest czarna porzeczka, dalej słodkie cukierki, landrynki owocowe i perfumowane nuty owoców leśnych. Smak słodki, może nawet za słodki z kwaskowym finiszem, przypomina raczej napój gazowany niż cydr. Wysycenie wysokie, ciało średnie. Tekstura miękka. Posmak długi, słodki. Sunday, November 20, 2022

After.dawn	2.9 Magners Juicy Apple 잔에 따른 외관은 일단 라이트라거처럼 희미한 색을 가진 외관에 헤드는 탄산 거품만 촤르르 생기다 금방 사라.. 엌 맥주가 아닌것에 헤드 타령을.. 향은 다른 애플사이더들과 비교해보면 디자인에 적힌 쥬시애플이란 말이 무색할 정도인데, 달달한 사과주라기보단 와인이나 과일주를 증류한 브랜디의 향이 있네요. 한 입 맛보면 향으로 느낀것과 마찬가지로 완전 다익어서 갈변하기 직전의 사과맛입니다. 오크통 숙성이라 그런가 브랜디스러운 맛도 느껴지구요. 아이리쉬 스타우트 등 주류에 아이리쉬라는 단어가 자주 쓰이는데 '강력한(?)' 정도로 생각하면 됩니다. 그러니까 아이리쉬사이더는 강력한 사과주.. 한국 편의점에서 쉽게 볼 수 있는 애플 사이더는 써머스비, 애플폭스 그리고 지금 얘기하는 매그너스 정도가 있는데 이 모두 오리지널과는 다소 거리가 있는 가향 스타일이긴하지만 풋사과의 싱그러움은 써머스비(향 첨가를 가장 많이 한듯)에서, 풍부하게 잘익은 풍미는 애플폭스에서 그리고 사과주 다운 맛은 매그너스인 듯 하네요. 라벨을 확인해보면 농축액 49.61%와 사과주스 15.84%를 합하면 65.45% 즉 사과와 직접적으로 관련된게 65%나 된다는 말. 물보다 사과가 더 많이 들어간것에 엄청난 자부심이 있다고!
