Three Kings Cider
Australian; 4.6% Alcohol Content.
$2.83, 6 for $16.99 (AUD); LiquorLand (Mandurah, WA)
Three Kings makes a hard apple cider, a beer, and a ginger/vodka drink and all three were relentlessly advertised for MONTHS before I could actually find one in stores. Needless to say, the anticipation created a swell of expectation within the cider community (I have nothing to back that up with except that I was excited about finding one of these cleverly and prominently marketed ciders). Once I finally found Three Kings Cider I was overjoyed, however, the experience of drinking the cider was sadly less thrilling than attempting to find it. The cider is certainly not bad, in fact it's pretty good; the taste is very similar to apple juice with a bit of alcohol thrown in, you might not even realize it is alcoholic at first. However, once again, I bought into slick advertisements and assumed that it would translate to a superior product. Three Kings is good, but will never be confused for a great cider.
Rating 8.2
