English-style cider is alcohol made from apples. It tastes kinda like fermented apple juice. Not to be confused with Magners (mmm...) and Cider Jack (not so much), which are both Irish-style ciders.
Irish style is comprable to beer or ale; thin and carbonated. English style is more like wine; an iota thicker, no carbonation, and about twice as strong (Magners: 4.5% alc. by vol. Metcalfe's (English): 9% alc by vol).
And I drank a pint of Metcalfe's last night, not knowing the difference until I poured a glass.
