Advantages: Refreshing summer drink

Disadvantages: May get you drunk :o)

A perfect, crisp (alcoholic) drink for those hot summers days. Fill your, oversized glass with Ice and Magners sit back and enjoy the summer.

I was always a Lager drinker, enjoying the cold, crisp taste of the beverage and thinking nothing could be better on a hot day, till I discovered Magners Irish cider, since then I have never looked back. Up until the summer of 2008 my experience of cider had been Strongbow, white lightening or diamond white, all (in my opinion) strong over powering ciders. Magners on the other hand is light, crisp and very refreshing, quite flowery in its taste (presumably due to the type of apple used??), and not too alcoholic, compared to some.

Anyway, I only drink the bottled version (not tried the canned or draught versions that are also available) and find that with ice you get more than a pint glass worth (unless you have some of the Bulmers oversized glasses, which I want). I have also found that (unlike most lager) the fizz stays right to the end, so no leaving a flat watery dreg at the bottom of your glass. On top of all this I personally don't feel the usual bloat after drinking too much that I used to feel with larger, probably not something to advocate but never the less true for me.

Summary: Nice to enjoy on a summers day.
