The three delicious new Strongbow flavours are Apple Cider with Strawberry and Kiwi, Pear Cider with Raspberry and Strawberry, and Apple Cider with Mango and Passionfruit. Clearly taking a leaf out of the Rekorderlig book, they offer fruity sweet ciders in brightly coloured bottles.
Pros: Delicious flavours and pretty bottles.
Cons: Made from imported apples.
Bulmers Ginger
Price: $6.50 per 500ml bottle.
Alcohol Content: The ABV is 4% or 1.6 standard drinks in each 500ml bottle.
It's not quite ginger beer, it's ginger cider. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I know I like it. True to its roots, Bulmers Ginger is amber in colour with a golden hue and a fresh ginger aroma, overlaying the distinct apple cider characters. The cider is sweet to taste and has a dry crisp finish. Basically, it tastes like ginger beer.
Pros: Not too sweet, great when you want something different.
Cons: Not great if you're after that crisp, cider taste.
Dr Pilkington's Miracle Cider
Price: $6.99 per 500ml bottle
Alcohol Content: The ABV is 5% or 2 standard drinks in each 500ml bottle.
The latest creation from MV Beer, Miracle Cider is everything a cider should be. It's crisp and refreshing and not as sweet as some other ciders on the market. "Made from 100% fresh apples under “doctor’s” orders, it is a deliciously dry and refreshing apple tonic with a refined acid balance allowing true apple flavour to shine through. With no plans set in stone for the future of the brand, snap up your cure before it’s gone…" Featuring a variety of quirky labels labels, there's nothing not to like about this cider.
Pros: Made from locally grown pink lady and granny smith apples in McLaren Vale.
Cons: We can't find one!
Please drink responsibly.
