McSorley's Ale House (The Venetian, Macau)
I hadn't seen Magners on this side of the Pacific; and what's more, I hadn't imbibed this delicious cider in a long, long time, my last tipple being several years ago, in an Irish pub in West Orange, New Jersey. Small wonder my eyes lit up at the sight of Magners on the menu of the McSorley's Ale House in the Venetian. My time in Macau was about to become much sweeter.
My friend and I each ordered a bottle, I guessing that the pub would serve the smaller-size bottles to which I had grown accustom in NJ. However, when the bottles -- thick and massive, much like the casino in which they were served -- arrived, I knew I had a lot of drinking to do, since my friend had already consumed some alcohol earlier in the evening and besides, she was driving! I prepared for a triple portion of icy refreshment.
Magners goes down cold, smoothly; the amber nectar has a mild, sweet taste; and I enjoyed every generous sip!
