Orange-gold with very carbonated fluid to small white head with some pinkish-orange shade. Bretty nose, sweet-fruity, apples, lemon. Flattish old apples taste, pretty sweet, but masked by all the CO²-activity. Extremely carbonated, fizzy in the extreme. Very...mmmh - commercial brew. No thanks, Paddy.

Golden color, fizzy, no head retention. Light aroma of ripe apples. Dry mouthfeel, taste of watery unfiltered apple juice. The flavor is very simple, some residual sweetness. Just a notch above the poor mass ciders.

Bottled(330ml). -found this one is EuroSpar Graz, sweet slight acidic apple flavor. This is my 6th and last cider, simply because I don’t like this type of drink....

Bottled, Reily’s Daughter, Midway Airport. The label says "Magner’s Vintage," but it’s also listed as 4.5% abv. Nice apple/wine smell. Pours a golden apple juice color, slight bubbly. A good balance between sweet and dry. Nice warming alcohol touch. Just slight sulfite note needed for preservative, but perhaps it shouldn’t be that noticable. Still a very fine brew.

(Bottle 33 cl) Comes as "Magners Original Vintage Cider" - but only at 4,5% ABV. What a strange colour indeed, this is sort of orangey pink! Some sort of medicinal, chemical tang in both aroma and flavours - not so pleasant. Those off flavours dominate and owerpowers the apples. Pity. 240705

Can: Poured a slightly fizzy dark golden colored cider with below average carbonation. Taste is a quite strange mix between fructose and sweet apple that may have fermented a bit too much. It lacks some dryness to balance the whole thing and ends up tasting a bit too much like soda. I did notice a very subtle oak flavour which compels me to say this could have been worse.
