Peerless in reputation as this country's best Cider I decided it was time I should try it, not least to see how it stands up against the new wave of Ciders and Perry on the market, but also due to my partiality for ciders.

While obviously in need of a label revamp, or not, depending on your taste, the Kellybrook is both fresh and refreshing. It tasted of ripe apples, has a soft mouth feel and just the slightest hint of sugar. I drank it before enjoying some typical 'Victoria Street' goodness and it fit the occasion nicely.

The cider is nice and refreshing, perfect with a cheese plate, or to finish the day and best of all it should cost less than $20. And for long time fans...it holds its ground perfectly well against new market entrants.
