William's Sir Perry

A nice pear cider from Britain, with medium sweetness.

Turning Point

Produced in Vancouver, BC, it is has a very light nose and light taste.

Wanderoot

Produced by Molson Breweries, it is a just okay cider, slightly sweet but fairly plain.

Stella Artois

An okay dry cider, but nothing special, from the Belgian company more known for its beer. Note that it is an "apple flavoured cider beverage."

Stutz

From Halifax Nova Scotia, an off-dry cider that is not pleasant: a chemically nose, and an off taste — actually, quite an odd taste overall.

Molson

A light and sweet cider. Not to my liking.

Alexander Keith's

A light tasting cider that is off-dry. Okay.

Dukes

From Kelowna, BC, comes this quite bland, light tasting cider, with an off taste on the finish.

Reinhart's Red Apple - Strong

This a strong - 7% alcohol - cider with a medium sweetness. The initial taste is a bit astringent, and it has a slightly off after-taste. My score 3/10.

Savanna Dry

A nice light refreshing dry cider from South Africa made from Granny Smith apples. Lighter in flavour than most, but makes for a great thirst quencher on a hot day. Delicious. 9/10

Somersby

A product of the large Carlsberg Group, but I find this to be too much of an artificial apple flavour as well as being too sweet.

Magners Pear Cider

One of the better pear ciders (made in Ireland) with a real pear flavour but not too sweet.
