Magners Original Irish Cider

20111002:
It has an interesting taste. I think I like it more than the other hard ciders I've had. In particular, it's different from Strongbow. Though I'd have to conduct a blind taste test to be sure.

(The actual bottle, but not from the actual day.)

We love making cider, but we reckon there's only one way to do it properly. That's why we're still taking inspiration from the historic methods we used when we started making cider back in 1935. That's part of the Magners taste.

So is the way we use over 17 varieties of apples, waiting until they drop before pressing and filtering them in the traditional way.

We take time to ferment the cider and even more time to let it mature, up to 2 years in fact, tasting it along the way. Sure, there are faster ways of making cider, but then it wouldn't be Magners.
