Strongbow. Always consistent and I can say I have never had a bad pint. :ayatollah:

What I don't understand is the Magners with ice stuff? Why water down cider? Just buy a cold cider from the pump! :?: :?:

Strongbow for me, the valley champagne!

Magners with ice on a hot day goes down a treat aswell.

Strongbow is the choice of cider of most men, myself included. Always consistent. No bullshit. As for ice in Magners - well that is a typical Irish ploy. You know the type, blarney bullshit. Never fallen for it meself. A good cider is Taffy Apples, a Welsh cider. A bit sweet, but nice and refreshing. It says on the bottle -'No Ice. No Blarney. No Gimmicks' :lol: An obvious 2 fingers up at the Oirish.
