Eighteen!



Monarch Dry Premium Strength Cider

Australian; 7% Alcohol Content.

$1.99, 4 for $7.99 (AUD); CBD IGA Plus Liquor (Perth City, WA)

Two regal ciders in a row!

Do not let the low, low price of Monarch fool you, this is a great cider; when I first took a sip, I actually exclaimed, "that's pretty good!" I am sparse with superlatives, but Monarch really pleasantly surprised me. The only downfall is the high alcohol content which slightly alters the taste, but if not for that fact, this would certainly be rated higher. It has become increasingly difficult to define what exactly makes a cider good; describing why a cider is bad is much easier, but I think much of what makes a good cider so is just that initial reaction to its taste. Monarch is simply refreshing from the first drop to the last and it comes highly recommended from yours truly.

Rating 9.0
