No pretty boring too. I thought it was my tastebuds so went and tried a Waitrose own brand vintage cider (aprx �1.50) and it had taste bursting out all over.
Why I answered - I was in an Irish themed (South London) bar last week end and about half a dozen were drinking the classic Guiness and the rest jangling glasses of ice and bottles of Magners it looked very odd not unsimilar to a tv advert!
This ice thing is new to me - I have run across Magners, but only in Cyprus (where else?!!) , and it's always served just like any other cider there. I can't imagine wht the advantage would be in a drink that's supposed to be served at approximately room temperature - surely it would kill any but the strongest flavours, and stop it tasting like cider. Maybe that's the point........
Having tried it in its natural state it's OK, but not really any different from many other emasculated ciders available in pubs. Now when Symonds were still making their Luncheon Dry in Herefordshire.....that WAS a pint of cider!
