Having bought some Swedish cider from Dan Murphy's last year out of curiosity, a few months later they also had a 'taster' pack of twelve different Australian and international ciders so these have been tried and ranked into (a) worth drinking again and (b) did not impress.
Five of these are good enough to recommend.
1. Bulmers Original Cider 330mL. 4.7% alcohol. An authentic apple cider. (Australia)
2. Three Oaks Cider Co. - Original Crushed Apple Cider. 330mL. 5.0% alcohol. (Australia)
3. Old Mout Cider. Classic Apple. 330mL. 4.5% alcohol. (New Zealand)
4. Castaway Cider. Apple. 330mL. 5.0% alcohol. (Australia)
4. Castaway Cider. Apple. 330mL. 5.0% alcohol. (Australia)
5. Kopparberg Preium Cider with Stawberry and Lime. 330mL. 4.0% alcohol. (Sweden)
The Swedish Kopparberg Lime and Strawberry cider is pinkish in colour and has an interesting taste which is a mixture of tart and sweet, in accordance with its contents. Some may feel it is an alternative version of an 'Alcopop', but it would be a refreshing choice chilled on a hot day.
Whilst not in the mixed pack, the Swedish Rekorderlig Winter Cider is also pleasant drinking, It can be consumed warm in winter, but is also quite lovely chilled, with a fruity cinnamon-tinged flavour
