Yeah... so this happened some weeks ago. I got a four pack of these cute Strongbow tasters. Gold Apple and Rosé were perfectly drinkable. But the artisanal blend was too sweet and the Cherry Blossom was just too sweet and had almost a pharmaceutically artificial strong cherry taste.

Tonight’s Cider of Choice is this Orgasmic Organic Apple Cider from @williesmithscider of #Tasmania... I’m a sucker for a cider in a can! Gonna crack open a few more and write up a review... so far, so good! #tasmaniancider #williesmithscider #ciderinacan #cidermikerecommends #australiancider #williesmiths #cidertasting #ciderlover #ciderblogging #keepitreal #organiccider (at Huon Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHEAPS2pJ8o/?igshid=pguf63afi8in

They did it!!! Vander Mill cidrerie created something that is very close to those French ciders I love be so much. It doesn’t have the same super fresh fruity aroma but the taste and crispness is there. Sweeter than your typical VM ciders but not offensive. It’s also a lower alcohol (4.5%) “session cider” - you’re supposed to be able drink a lot of them in one session (long football or baseball game). It is also the first VM Cider (for me) to come in a smaller 6-pack format cans. I heard that the “normal” 4-packs will be available too. Now all they have to do is change the spelling to look more French - Vandie maybe? (ir)regardless - get it and enjoy it

I’m pretty sure I hade this Blake’s “Archimedes” on tap long time ago and posted about it. But I’m going to start from scratch because I found that Blake’s ciders vary from batch to batch and of course there will be difference between the tap and canned cider. So... it’s vanilla and elderberry cider. It’s definitely on a sweet side. Beautiful color and smells nice when freshly poured. However as the drink warms up the smell becomes borderline unpleasant. Wouldn’t even call it funky. Which is the only con. Pros: owl (!), color, very drinkable.

There’s nothing subtle about this cider from One Tree. It’s opaque, with strong (and borderline unpleasant) aroma. Strongly carbonated, and... it’s hard to drink. It feels too “syrupy” and sticky. I’d compare it to undiluted pomegranate juice. Worth a try though! Make sure you have at least one person to split this bottle with - I can’t imagine myself enjoying the whole thing alone!

Here’s “serious scrump”, 11% imperial cider from the makers of Ginga-Ninja (which I haven’t seen for some time now). Very pleasant aroma with just a slight hint of yeast/fermentation. It’s on a sweeter side but sweetness doesn’t stay on your tongue. Somewhat flatter than most American ciders. While drinking it I noticed the strength just like one notices the higher percentage Belgian ales that are somewhat “hard” to drink. Worth a try though - it very reasonably priced for a 0.5 liter bottle.
