Rekorderlig Winter is quite OK.

But warm - I spat it out.

James Squire Orchard Crush I've loved for awhile but I do love the cloudy five seeds

But once I build my press I will start doing my own

Been drinking cider for 50 years. Mercury Sweet is my all time favourite. Toohey's Five Seeds are second.

Bulmer's to their shame, bought up a number of local cideries in the late 70's-80's and closed them to eliminate competition and increase market share. Price war accounted for most of the other local commercial cideries.

I have tried a few of the local boutique ciders that have appeared in recent years. These to me are like most of the boutique beers, taste funny and grossly overpriced.

I have mainly had Rekorderlig, I drink the pear one. I had a berry one overseas and it was ok.

The MRS just tried the Castaway pear cider and said it was ok for a cheapy

I love Little Creatures Pipsqueak cider but it must be off the tap. The bottled stuff is too carbonated.

[LandyAndy]

Had Pipsqueak on tap the other day.
5 Seeds,commercial CRAP.Just like XXXXbeer

Dickens Cider is probably the best

Mercury Draught has always been a favorite. There is a great little cider place at Harcourt called Henry's. they do something called The Duck & Bull which is great. Unfortunately, most ciders are now made from concentrated apple juice, sugar, water, alcohol and co2. The are not actually fermented or brewed. Most of the concentrate is imported. I guess it's the way of the world.
