Irish craft beers have been around but never especially plentiful in this town. Lots of Irish styles, to be sure, but brought over from the isle itself? A little harder to find. With time pressures of late, I thought I could grab something simple from the supermarket, but it turns out lots of people had that idea. Plan B it is, cider. Also not a lot of choice, to be honest, just one Irish cider on the shelf, Magners. I’m sure I’ve had it at some point in the past, maybe when one of the old import stores was still open, but not for some time. Let’s see if there’s a subconscious reason, or just my overwhelming preference for darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n

Interesting rosy, rusy gold color. A little champagney maybe. Bubbly, not no lasting head. It has that tangy sour smell that you can expect from a cider, with a touch of sweetness to it. It is very sweet and appley compared to other, more crafty, ciders, and more like apple juice than even American cider. Despite the initial bubbles I find it very smooth and easy to drink, hence the juice comparison. It has a good level of flavor, not overbearing and with a clean finish, no weird aftertaste at all. It also has a smooth texture that doesn’t quite jive with the bubbliness in the beginning, but it’s very pleasant and an encouraging drink. These characteristics could very well make Magners a danger, since you could take down pint after pint in an evening without even thinking. It isn’t a sneaky pastry stout or NEIPA, but it is at the same level of alcohol as a normal everyday beer, so that will catch up to you eventually. I think I will be satisfied with the one, just for the occasion. <\/p>\n\n\n
