Cider 90.


Crisp Apple Cider by Maxx

New Zealand; 4.5% Alcohol Content.

$3 AUD; LiquorLand (East Victoria Park, WA)

Crisp Apple Cider by Maxx (CACbM) is a cider produced by a far more prominent beer company (Maxx).  However, unlike the 5 Seeds range produced by Toohey's, CACbM is a bit of a let down.  There's a good carbonation level, but the apple flavor in general is somewhat weak and there are light overtones of the bitterness that is a trademark of scrumpy ciders.  This cider is a let down, but perhaps I just placed too many expectations on the narrow shoulders of CACbM.

Rating 7.2
