Monteith's Crushed Apple Cider.
New Zealand; 4.5% Alcohol Content.
$3.49 (AUD); Liquorland (Subiaco, WA)
Monteith's cider is a rarity for me; both crisp/ dry/ well carbonated enough, but also not too sweet; few cider makers seem to be able to find that perfect balance without tipping in favor of soda or apple juice. This cider has some hipster appeal (funky label, bottle looks as if it might have been constructed from recycled beer bottles past), but it doesn't cost seven bucks for a bottle because it's made in this hemisphere. All in all, a great cider experience, simple enough for a beginner to appreciate, but beautiful enough for a connoisseur to relish.
