Sydney Cider from Lovedale Brewery What a nice cider this is. It's crisp, flavorful, and lightly carbonated, with a really nice fruit taste. This might be my favorite cider. Reviewed on 07 Apr 2018 3 likes

Crisp Apple from Angry Orchard Is this the nicest cider I've had? No, in fact it's fairly genetic and a little too sweet. However, it was cold and cheap when I needed it, and those are qualities not to be underrated even if they're not often mentioned in reviews. I'll buy it again when there's nothing else and it is once again cold and cheap. Reviewed on 28 Mar 2018 3 likes

Carrot Cake Ginger Beer from Zeffer This is not a cider, it's a ginger beer, but it does come from a cidery. Full disclosure: I only bought this because it was on clearance, and the lovely lady at the bottle shop told be that she'd tried it and it was horrible. How wrong can you go for $10 for four pack though? I'm partial to ginger beers though paranoid about gluten freeness, and this one is expressly so. The colour is a bright, almost radioactive orange, and it comes with a good ginger kick. It's not something I'd drink often (or maybe ever again if it was on clearance, but I enjoyed it.

Original from Flying brick This is a nice light cider, both in taste and at 4.4% not a hugely heavy hitter. It's not exceptional but it is pleasant with a decent fruit taste and well worth buying. Reviewed on 24 Dec 2022 2 likes

Sunshack Apple Cider from Sunshack Cider To be fair, this isn't the greatest cider of all time, being unexceptional in moist areas. It is, though, also competent in all of them and very reasonably priced. It carries a little more fruit flavor than mass produced ciders tend to, and although semi sweet is not overwhelmingly so. I could drink this all afternoon Reviewed on 26 Feb 2018 2 likes

Monteith’s crushed Apple Cider from Monteith’s This is not as sweet as some, which can only be a good thing on a hot summer evening. It's the very thing to cool down. Reviewed on 16 Feb 2018 2 likes

Meadow Lark Apple Cider from Idyll Wine Co Not going to lie, I bought this because it was a) cheap, b) something I hadn't tried before, and c) cheap. It's ... fine, I guess? It has almost a wine taste, which isn't surprising coming from a winery, and if you think carefully you can convince yourself apples are involved. You could do worse, but even at the price I think you could do so much better. Reviewed on 23 Dec 2022 1 like

Scape Goat Pineapple Flavoured Cider from McCashin's Brewery This tastes almost exactly like a pineapple soft drink, with everything that implies. Reviewed on 12 Oct 2020 1 like

Scape Goat Crisp Apple Cider from McCashin's Brewery This is not the nicest cider I've had, and has a bit of an aftertaste, but is quite drinkable if you get it on sale. Reviewed on 05 Oct 2019 1 like

Organic Apple Cider from Two Elk Cidery Note: this claims to be Swedish, so probably is, but I can only find Australian distribution details. At first taste, it's fine, but that then gives way to realizing how sweet it actually is. Even on a price per bottle basis (it was wicked cheap) it's not great. Reviewed on 21 Jul 2018 1 like
