Magner's cider smells like vomit.

Strongbow Original on the other side of the world contains 10% pear juice.

Tis very nice too!

Not so much of a choice here though its Strongbow or Mercury

Magners and Bulmers are the same thing as far as I am aware, it is Bulmers in Ireland but Magners over here and they both taste equally nasty.

Yep, but I think the reason it isn't called Bulmers in England is because of some other brand of cider, from Hereford? Only speculating though.

I seem to remember having a bottle of Bulmers over here totally different bottle to Magers. Read that it was from Hereford somewhere.

I've always preferred cider

Strongbow > Magners anyway

thats a contradiction surely?
strongbow is horrific and more akin to a pint of chemicals than a pint of cider.

I've been a big fan of strongbow since i started drinking and still am though it's nice to have a kopparberg now and then.
