After reading this thread, I went out and bought a bottle, and it's actually surprisingly really nice

Am I allowed to presume that your name, 'maggies minder', has some sort of relevance to Margaret Thatcher? Or is that just prejudice?

it is but not for the reasons you think its down to my car reg plate.

I've tried it. Its pretty good but nothing on the likes of magners and bulmers.

Its like a cross between strongbow (poo) and magners, its halfway there.

[RossKnight]

Couldn't really see any resembalence to strongbow or magners, or cider itself for that matter, it's sort of really sweet, not gassy, doesn't leave a taste in your mouth, a drink you could drink all night and not feel like you're going to explode, it just tastes like slightly fizzy apple juice really.

I agree, lol. I was drinking it at the weekend, and to be honest I thought it was a bit bland and nothing special I'll just stick to my Guinness, lol.

any ice in a cider is a major no no

After working in a bar it's surprising how many people complain when they can't have their drinks the way they're usually served, for instance Magners on ice, so many people would moan and say they don't want the Magners if we were out of ice... The bottle is out of the fridge, the cider is cold, stop being a cry baby and drink it! Not to mention Corona... If we'd ran out of cut lime they would even ask for a drop of lime cordial in the top to flavour the lager... Little do they realise that Corona is Mexican and the lime in the top of the bottle was there to stop the flies getting in to the lager, and not so your lager tasted like limes!!!

As a cider drinker myself I might have to give the Cidre a go, has anyone seen the new Magners flavours available? Spiced apple and rhubarb, spiced apple and honey and pear and ginger flavours?

And to those Rattler drinkers, it's nice cider, my Mum was kind enough to bring me some back with her from Cornwall for me, mmm

[maggies_minder]

i liked it when cider wasnt such stupid flavours, you either liked it or drank something else.

all these new flavours just taste like pop.

[Dolly 89]

The new flavours are great, especially to someone who cant drink beer or lager for medical reasons but to me it has to be bulmers over ice or a nice bottle of savanah or a bottle of rattler (thank you wetherspoons ) not keen at all on the stella cidre but a nice mixed fruit koparberg does go down well, sorry if the drinks are spelt wrong i usually cant see straight whilst drinkiing them

[Claibo]

I only know how to spell them because I gaze longingly at them in the shops til I start to drool and people start to stare so I move on...

[MaxAndPaddy]

All these flavoured drinks are awful - that is untill you are half kettled on a nice drink

Then ABRACADABRA!!!!!....... Weheyyyyyy they all taste fine!!!!!

( similar phenomenon happens with Kebabs )

You lot need to get on that Sainsburys Vintage 2010 Cider...its 7.2%, comes in 750ml bottles...sells like hot cakes (i work there) and i had three bottles of it the other night and i ended up running around worcester in the early hours dresssed as action man half naked after ripping my army top off.

Finally tried this cidre and if I'm honest I'm not a massive fan... I've put my bottle down for a can of magners pear cider
