Advantages: Bubbles last well - tastes best when coldest

Disadvantages: A bit bland when warmer

I bought a few bottle sof this the other week as they didn't have any Magners in the shop - which is the cider of choice at the moment.

I must admit I don't think there is much to beat a glass of cold cider on a warm spring/summer day. I must admit I had never thought of putting ice into the glass before I had seen it on the adverts but now that I have I really find that it brings out the flavour of the drink really well.

Anyway this is the the standard pint bottle of bulmers cider. When I first poured it into the glass it is slightly more yellow in colour than that of Magners, which is more orangy.

The fizz was good and lasted for long enough. I could feel th bubbles popping in my nose as I drank for quite a while after pouring it but it wasn't too gassy to drink. the taste was OK. i felt it lacked a little of the distinctive apple taste that I like with Cider and was a little sweeter than my usual brand. The flavour also seemed to get blander as the drink warmed up so this is definetely one to keep cold.

Overall OK but I will stick to magners as I found this was a bit too sweet for me and didn't give me that refreshing cider taste well enough.

Summary: An OK cider but I prefer magners
