5 Seeds Cloudy Apple Cider

Australian; 5% Alcohol Content.

$2.99 (AUD); Dan Murphy's (Kelmscott, WA)

Upon discovering this cider in the depths of a Dan Murphy's shelf, I was instantly consumed by an inner conflict. 5 Seeds is one of my favorite ciders, but generally, I hate cloudy apply ciders; 5 Seeds Cloudy Apple Cider (5SCAC) is obviously both; my greatest enemy and closest friend, all in one cleverly marketed bottle. As for the cider itself, 5SCAC is a good pick; it still retains most of the crispness of the original 5 Seeds while reducing the carbonation levels and adding a richer apple taste (no doubt courtesy of the apple detritus that make 5SCAC 'cloudy'). I cannot really complain about this cider; if you liked the original 5 Seeds, you should like this too, but because it's cloudy, you can give yourself a pseudo-organic-product-supporter pat on the back.
