Magners Cider... *drool*

[Pho]

I had some Stowford Press Export Cider the other week - it's one of the nicest ciders I've ever had; nicer than Magners .

£1.50 for 660ml at 6% too .

Magners is really nice.

 

[Proc]

Never really been a fan of cider, but don't mind Magners now and again. May have a bottle or two when i'm out as a change, but i think its watery as well.

 

[Dreadi]

its merrydown (7.5% stuff, pre pub drinking) or stowford press for me every time. Bow just taste horrible

 

[NokkonWud]

I'd like to state that I feel Magners is the most over-hyped, under-delivering pile of crap I've ever drunk. Absolutely horrid.

 

[SK07]

Magners is ace. I mean it's nice in the bottle drinking but try it with ice, ice cold and it's a whole different taste, in all honesty I went through them like water, about 5 bottles in no time.

 

[SK07]

Is it as smooth as Magners?

Sirus is good but doesn't have the same great taste as magners imo. Strongbow comes in at second, strongbow is a stronger type of cider, magners is more sweeter imo so sirus is quite strong.

 

[R.O.S.S.I]

I looooove Magners. But for some reason i prefer Bulmers, i know its practically the same drink but for some reason the other night i had one can of Magners and one of Bulmers and the Bulmers went down soooooo much nicer for some reason.

I was also a victim of the great advertising campaign, "put ice in it its great" !!!

Really annoys me when a lot of my friends say "can't beat magners with ice on a summers day"..Really? Strange that, because before last summer when Magners advertised it to hell you didn't like it!

merrydown for pre-lashes is the one

Yes at 54p a can you can't go wrong alc percentage 2% or something.

If you want to buy cheap cider I suppose you could go for the chav option and hit the white star at £1.15 a bottle with about 6.75% alc content. Or white lightning.

For quality strongbow and magners, bulmers tastes the same as magners imo. Magners for sweetness and strongbow for bitter.

Can't belive the almighty Kopparberg hasn't been mentioned!

Seriously, get down to Asda/Tesco and get some pear kopparberg, then go into a Wetherspoons and get an apple/summer fruits kopparberg, you will NOT regret it.

I am 18 and know these kind of things!

 

[Inquisitor]

Magners is lovely, but you should try Ashton Press; that stuff is the best cider I've ever tasted. Most Wetherspoon establishments do it afaik. It's also a hell of a lot cheaper than Magners.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Agreed it is nice. Much more refined than Strongbow. Bulmers is quite nice as is Gaymers. I've had some bad experiences with Strongbow the stuff is bloody lethal. Gone of it for life tbh after drinking way too much for my own good a few weeks ago (Strongbow that is). All I drink is Cider and Magners wins everytime. Bloody expensive though.

Also, Kopparberg urgh not to my liking at all. The stuff is ghastly

 

[Andelusion]

I like Magners, unfortunately they don't have it at my local, they sell Bulmers instead, which is quite a rip off at £3.60

Edit: Just read the thread and see it's the same thing \o/ still a rip off, although to be honest with them also charging £5.50 for a double jack and coke i'm not suprised Anything's better than larger anyway.

 

[kefkef]

Stowfor Press is very nice, but Henry Westons Special Vintage in a bottle takes the biscuit every ti,e. Now if we are talking Perry, it's gotta be St Helier none of this Koppaberg rubbish!

 

[Glaucus]

It's ok, get some thatchers organic or some cheddar valley down you. That's real cider.

 

[Welshy]

I find Magners is a lot more gassy than Bulmers, but otherwise tastes very similar, as well as costing about a £1 more, so I'd choose Bulmers if I had the choice.

Strongbow is horrible, unless with blackcurrant.

Kopperberg is the king of all ciders though, especially the pear one.... *licks lips*

Magners is awful warm or cold.
