Personally, it's the best Cider i've had very smooth. Title: Magners Cider Post by: Piemonte on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 15:57:02 Ther need to be a "meeeh" option.
I vote Meeeh Title: Magners Cider Post by: Cookie on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 15:57:58 I don't like Cider, so meeh
Title: Magners Cider Post by: STFCBird on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 16:00:35 it is lush - fact
Title: Magners Cider Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 16:14:55 It's pretty nice. Wouldn't go mental about it though. Frosty Jacks is the king of ciders.
Title: Magners Cider Post by: Amir on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 16:20:40 When I first tried it before it arrived in England I loved it. Now I sneer at anyone who buys it :D
Too fizzy and sweet, and there are much nicer ciders out there. The ingenious part on their behalf was the introduction of ice, a must with almost all ciders I feel. Title: Magners Cider Post by: yeo on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 16:20:53 I prefer the E Numbers in Strongbow 8)

Title: Magners Cider Post by: McLovin on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 16:25:11 I found it took the edge off many a game at the County G last season. :D
Title: Magners Cider Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 16:27:05 Can you please add: "I may well like it if I get round to trying it" option please?

Title: Magners Cider Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 16:33:59 Can we have an "I'd like to try it but I'm part of a jewish sect that believe pork is a typo for apple." option.
Title: Magners Cider Post by: Batch on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 16:38:09 Needs a never tried never going to it option too.
Fact: I've only had one pint of cider since puking my guts up after post uni exams. The exams were 11 years ago now. Title: Magners Cider Post by: Spud on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 16:39:56 I like it, not a massive Cider fan but its nice with the Cubes of Ice.

No, I first tried it in Ulster and it's called Magner's there too because Ulster is, and always will be http://www.ventodellalba.it/immagini/union-jack_small.gif :wink: Title: Magners Cider Post by: McLovin on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 16:55:47 Quote from: "Reg Smeeton" Quote from: "Batch" Needs a never tried never going to it option too.

That was like me with Jack Daniel's. After 3 years, i've eased myself back onto it though Title: Magners Cider Post by: Barry Scott on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 17:28:36 It's alright, but it's fucking cider and i'd rather have a cold stella any day.
My biggest gripe is it's now a fucking fashion accesory. Every cunt drinks it cause it's now cool, like smoking hash when you're 15 outside the youth club. Fuck off does it make you look cool, it tastes like merrydown, and makes you look like a band wagon boarding cunt who drinks the closest thing to an alchopop they can without without being sneered at. One word. ZEITGEIST.

Just bitched at my flatmate at waking me up slamming doors last night with his insomnia!
Can you tell? :shock: Title: Magners Cider Post by: Sussex on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 17:46:35 Only a bit. Pint of Magners should sort you out :?
Title: Magners Cider Post by: danny121 on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 17:50:52 when was drinkin cider cool? And why was magners never really heard of until 6 months ago or is that just me? I reckon its quite nice, expensive tho, 3.60 a bottle in my local! Ultimate summer drink stil has to be Guiness.
Title: Magners Cider Post by: McLovin on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 17:52:21 The last drink i'd think of in the summer is a Guinness!! I love the stuff, but it doesn't work in this weather for me!

One or two is alright but I find it makes me sick as a fucking pig the next day as well.

One word. ZEITGEIST. Magners is the best i love it. My irish friend at uni got me on to it last year. But it does seem now every man and his dog are drinking it now. Strongbow is just wrong. Anybody tried Red C?

Title: Magners Cider Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, July 27, 2006, 19:44:36 I'm quite partial to the odd Stella/Strongbow snakebite session. Not something for regular consumption.

Title: Magners Cider Post by: janaage on Friday, July 28, 2006, 10:54:04 Agree with Barry.
Up my local a few people used to drink Strongbow, now every fucker's on the magners. The thing is we keep running out of the bottles, then they all complain. Stick to the Guinness myself, come rain or shine Guinness does the job. And whilst we're on it what's all this extra cold shit too? Extra cold carling/guinness/kronie, fucking hell, just get the stuff down ya. Title: Magners Cider Post by: RobertT on Friday, July 28, 2006, 11:11:05 The extra cold is so they can serve it to you at extra prices. Although I have to say extra cold guiness does taste just a little better than the normal serving (either will do mind).
I haven't had a lot of Guiness recently and reading this has given me a right thirst for the stuff. Shame all I have to hand is some pretend coffee stuff from the machine at work. Cider and me just do not mix, at all. Title: Magners Cider Post by: janaage on Friday, July 28, 2006, 11:24:26 Cold Guinness better than the original, are you mad? Nothing beats the real stuff.
The cold drinks hurt the back of my head, head chill, not nice. Title: Magners Cider Post by: RobertT on Friday, July 28, 2006, 11:27:56 Not sure why. Either are spanking gorgeous mind.
Title: Magners Cider Post by: Doore on Friday, July 28, 2006, 11:35:14 Proper cider ie not smooth, not sweet but dry, is lovely. Magners is wee. Wee with ice. Ice does not hide the fact that it is wee. Also, when did a pint of anything require ice? Lets all dilute our pints, woohoo! Stupid.
Title: Magners Cider Post by: Sussex on Friday, July 28, 2006, 11:38:49 The meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh's are catching up nicely :thumbs:
Title: Magners Cider Post by: janaage on Friday, July 28, 2006, 11:49:32 The only decent cider, is the farm house scrumpy, you pick up in 3 litre barrels, that has the colour of piss after a night out on the town.
Two pints and you're fucked, that's the only decent stuff. The rest is fizzy chemical piss. Title: Magners Cider Post by: Amir on Friday, July 28, 2006, 12:32:37 Quote Also, when did a pint of anything require ice? I think you'll find that's since I said so, Doore. Hope that clears it up. I always have a shot of meths as a chaser to make up for the intake of water. Title: Magners Cider Post by: @MacPhlea on Friday, July 28, 2006, 13:18:38 It's domestic fuel :shock: - the three times me and the missus have drunk it together we've had massive rows :fu: .
Only one of us is allowed to drink it at a time now :beers: Title: Magners Cider Post by: oxford_fan on Friday, July 28, 2006, 17:41:18 we're going to buy a selection of continental beers and get drunk watching films and playing PES tonight. great stuff.
Title: Magners Cider Post by: lebowski on Saturday, July 29, 2006, 16:37:41 magners is alco-pops for men.
get yourself a few bottles of duvel, they're a bit of an arse to pour so need to be nice and cold in the fridge.

I'm not really a big drinker mate so i haven't really tried alot of drinks. Title: Magners Cider Post by: oxford_fan on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 10:44:00 cusquena, a peruvian effort, is a really smooth beer and a healthy 5%.
taste the difference "cologne style beer" was fruity and also tasty at 5%. carlsberg elephant (on special offer, 8 bottles for £5.65) bridges the gap between carlsberg and special brew, 7.2% and goes down easy. |
