500ml bottle. Pours golden not much head. Aroma of sweet and slightly tart apples although understated. Taste is the same and sweet but not overbearing. Nice carbonation but watery. Very drinkable innocuous cider that has been brewed to limit flavour for a mass market summer drink. I should hate it but I don't. Is it really 'original' though?
Mass produced summer thirst quencher.
Prefer this to the Bulmers 'Magners'.
Ok to have on hand for BBQ's
Look: clear bright gold with a moderate white frothy head that stays for a while.
Aroma: mostly apples.
Taste: light sweet, a little sourness, clean and crisp, apples of course.
Palate: light to medium body, lively carbonation.
Overall: pretty simple still somehow pleasant.
Sidro limpido, chiaro, trasparente. Assenza di schiuma, di aroma. Al palato non lascia particolari aromi.
500ml bottle bought at Eurospar Langnes. Noisy white head, diminishing over a bright golden body. Scattered lacing. Modest smell of apple skins, semi sweet. Fresh and sweet apple juicy flavours. Prolonged ending. Lively carbonated. Rather sweet, but okay. (Tromsø 24.04.2020).

Gyldengul. Litt skum som forsvinner raskt. Med lyd. Aroma av epleskall. Smaken søte røde epler. Passe søt ettersmak.
Can. Clear orange golden. Apples juice, sulphur, apples skin, quite sweet, some candy notes. Light-bodied, fizzy.
Poor aroma of apples. In taste dry, little bit of apple flavour and little watery.
0.5 bottle. This cider is one of the cider's. Nothing special. Ciders on RateBEER....why???
Golden yellow color. Apple taste, a bit too sweet perhaps. Light-bodied, medium carbonation, easy to drink. Refreshing. Quite good.
Bottle at The Prince Regent, Herne Hill, London (29062019) - golden yellow pour with small thin head. Sweet apple fruity, artificial type sweetness, light to medium body and carbonation, apple fruity close.
Clear yellow colored beer with a small white head, high carbonation.
Taste is apple, sweet syrup and some citrus.
0,5 l bottle. Pours light golden with small, frothy, quickly dissipating head. Aroma and flavour of artificial apple syrup juice. Taste is sweet, mouthfeel on the watery side. Medium bitterness and body.
Easy, sweet and slightly astringent, light aftertaste. Bubbles are thick but very enjoyable
bottle @ supermarket (ingolstadt) sweet, apple aroma, enjoyable fizzy, sugar, easy to drink
Tap @ Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross, Dublin III 2019. Kunstmatige zoet licht zurige smaak van appel. Vrij neutrale geur. Helder geel met licht witte schuimkraag. Voelt overall vrij doods aan ondanks dat het best in het glas sparkelt. Misschien de Ierse cider van Ierland maar is niet aan mij besteed. Origineel glas
Klasický cider od Strongbow je pro mě příliš sladký. Dry cidery bývají často až příliš suché. Toto je optimální!
330ml can (Megastar, Gulf of Finland). Straight from can. This is basically apple concentrate mixed with CO2. Fizzy one. Happens.
First time tasting the non-Irish version, it's rather weak, syrupy-sweet, slightly citrusy but that's about all, rather disappointing, and surely shouldn't be the one cider carried by FR (11.2 oz can, Ryanair)
I'm not really enough of a cider drinker to make such a sweeping judgement, but I don't like this one at all. Far too sweet... and watery to boot! It simply doesn't taste genuine in any respect, though I have no doubt the ingredients are real enough.
9/10/2018. Bottle from a convenience store on Hastings seafront. Pours golden with a large frothy white head. Aroma of sweet apple juice. Medium plus sweetness, hint of tartness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Underwhelming.
500ml bottle from the Co-op, Epsom. Pours clear yellow. Aroma of apple. Sugary apple taste. Thin finish.
Bottle. Well balanced medium sweet and slightly fizzy cider, much better than expected, very well drinkable!
Kremete munnfølelse, ok karbonering.
Grei pg enkel cider. Litt mye sødme og litt lite syre for min smak.

50cl bottle from Home Bargains.
No head. Clear golden pour. A little too sweet.
Looks like beer, yellow and big lacing white foam head. Taste like applejuice, not bad. (IJmuiden 201806)
What have they done to Bulmers Original cider?
Although it's still called original the label boasts a new recipe!
Sorry guys but it tastes like water...will not buy it again.
Bouteille 50cl @ The Duke & Coachman, Maynooth.
Cidre classique dans un verre pint anglais plein de glaçons ... idéal pour avoir les notes de pomme.
Dorée claire, pas de col.
Cidre de bonne facture mais sous emprise bien industrielle, crisp, pomme finement acerbe gardant une bonne dose de douceur pour plaire au plus grand nombre.
Rafraîchissant et léger. Le verre étant remplit de glaçons, un peu dur de juger le caractère global du cidre.
Умеренная газированность, сбалансированное сочетание кислотности и сладости. Но вот нет в этом сидре чего-то запоминающегося. Середнячок, не более того.
