RIP OFFS!!!! – I'm extremely disappointed with the changes made to Pure Blonde Cider. Initially, I enjoyed it in 375ml bottles, but over time, the label and volume have changed twice - first to 355ml with an 'Organic Apple Cider' label, and now to 330ml with a new design. Despite the reductions, the price remains the same or has even increased in some outlets. … Read more

I'm frustrated that the product's value has decreased while the price remains high. I'm considering boycotting Pure Blonde Cider and encourage others to reassess their purchase decision.

The frequent changes and price inconsistency make me question the brand's transparency and customer value. I hope the manufacturer will reconsider their pricing strategy and prioritize customer satisfaction.

Best cider out there – Delicious. This is all I drink now. Nice taste and not too sweet so you can drink it all night Show details

Water with a slight flavour of apple – Tastes like crisp water with a hint of apple. No flavour. No taste. Not impressed with this product even though 4.2% alcohol and "organic" felt it was watered down or all flavour distilled out of it. Won't buy this again. Show details

Filthy – It’s horrible! I’ve never tried or even realised it’s possible to make cider this bad. Bought it on special, now I know why. Would water the plants with it but they would probably leave my garden in protest if I did...down the drain... Show details

Love Pure Blonde Organic Cider – Love this refreshing organic cider, so much nicer than the sweeter ciders, it's organic, it's low carb, it's refreshing, it's a winner. I bought this on a special offer of 6 pack for $10. Would buy again at normal price. Show details

Pure Blonde Organic - a beaut change – I've been enjoying my 6-pack (purchased for $12 with another purchase). My go-to cider has been Strongbow Classic - but have been converted! I might try your popular 'crisp' some day Show details

Buy a lemon and suck on it instead – I bought a 6 pack of this to try as it was offered to me on special when I was purchasing other liquor. That should have told me something. Its horrible. I drank one bottle and will be tipping the other 5 down the sink. Did the manufacturers taste test this? What on earth made them think this was a pleasant drink? Obviously it is marketed on its health benefits with disregard for taste even though it contains sulphides and preservatives Show details

Why change it???? – I’m a “buy a carton of cider a week” sort of girl and pure blonde cider was my drink... until you changed it to organic!!!! It’s NASTY, its killed the taste and doesn’t even compare to the normal cider.. won’t be buying any more !!!

Why??? – Why did you change to organic? It would have been fine if you hadn't killed the taste of it as well! The new taste is awful. I won't be buying it again. Show details

Pure Blonde ORGANIC Cider – Totally agree with the two previous reviews, won't be buying the organic one again. Carlton & United Breweries please revert to the original Pure Blonde CRISP Apple Cider, it was fabulous! Show details

Sadly you changed! – After years of different ciders l finally found a 5 star one but recently you made my well enjoyed Pure Blonde Cider "ORGANIC" no questions asked, as a consumer that's not very fair, it tastes AWFUL, as least you could've given us a choice. Well I have now returned to Strongbow Clear low carb! Bring back the plain crisp apple cider please! Show details

Not impressed at the organic pure blonde ciders – Organic pure blonde is not nice. Please don’t change things that aren’t broken my 4 star is for the non organic cider. Please take the organic off the shelf please Show details

Not too sweet and not too heavy – I use to drink Sommersby Pear cider but it got way to sweet for me after a few. Enjoyed a nice cold beer too but it was the same and after a few felt full. This is a perfect mix. These are my regular go to for a nice night with company or a relaxing drink after work. And the new organic mixture- loving it! Show details

The only cider I’ll buy now – This cider is my all time fave. It’s not super sweet and it’s super refreshing. I haven’t ever had a favorite cider but I do now. I’ve converted so many of my friends to it even beer drinking hubby likes it. Show details

Perfect!!! – This Cider achieves EXACTLY what it sets out to, Dry and Crisp!!! & Extremely refreshing!! I have longed for a dry cider that isn't sickly sweet. Thank you for finally catering to a market of dry cider connoisseurs! Love it Love it Love it!

Pure blonde crisp apple – I'm sorry but this cider is RUBBISH perhaps a beer drinker might like it - I can't stop burping and I haven't finished the first one@ BLAAA it is not a cider -

Different – I initially gave this a 2 star rating but thought again about my review. What I did not consider, was the fact that this product is marketed as "crisp" and with "60% less sugar". So taking this into consideration, then the product achieves exactly that, which is a clean, crisp tasting cider, that also happens to be light in depth due to the… Read more

heavily reduced sugar content? I gave it a rethink when I gave a stubby to a friend before warning him; he liked it very much and thought it was very clean tasting! So there you have it, a review that's reactive to what a product sets out to achieve :)

Love it! – Love it! A refreshing, dry cider for those who don't like the sickly sweet ciders! No more sugar hangover too! Everyone who has tried it at mine has loved it as well.

Lovely light dry cider for summer – Normally drink Dirty Granny but tried some Pure Blonde and found it to be a very pleasant light cider. We will continue to drink this during the warmer months and switch back to Dirty Granny when it gets cooler

WELL I love it and hope they never get rid of it – I was buying some more beer which I shouldn't have because I'm on a diet, but love a drink on the weekends. Whilst purchasing the beer this was on the counter for $10 for a 6 pack, I noticed the 60% less sugar and 50% less carbs so I thought I would give it a go. AND I love it, it does not taste like urine as some have stated. It isn't as strong… Read more

on taste or sickly sweet like other ciders, it's just refreshing and I don't feel as guilty as I would having a beer. I went straight out a bought 2 boxes of it on special. I don't like the pure blonde beer but I love this cider and I say if no one else drinks it, it's a bonus for me. And as par as I'm concerned everyone to his own if you don't like it don't buy it. Never get rid of this cider Carlton brewery. 5 Stars from me.

Best Cider Ever – I don't like Pure Blond Beer. The taste is great, I don't know why so many say it lacks flavor. Furthermore, I brought some Somersby last week to try something different, in comparison the Somersby is awful, too sweet. Great product.

Worst cider I have ever tasted – I like cider. I like ALL cider. I like ALL cider bar this one. This tasted like watered down urine. Seriously, how did this make it to shelves?? I would not drink this if it were free. I would not drink this if it were between this and receiving 1 million dollars. I would not drink this if I was severely dehydrated and stuck in a desert. It's bad guys. It's really, really bad.

Awful – I too like the taste of Pure Blonde beer, but I am more partial to drinking cider. Along came the "6 pack for $10 voucher" on the woollies shopping docket, so trying a new cider was on the cards. This has to be the weirdest, unpalatable bordering almost chemical tasting drink to masquerade as a cider I have ever tasted. Sharing it amongst our… Read more

party whilst on holiday, we think we will be leaving it behind. Disappointing - avoid and try something that might have some relationship to an apple.

Sadly Lacking – I was so excited to try this cider as I love the pure blonde beer, but I couldn't have been more disappointed. Weird taste straight up followed by a lack of flavour and body and finished with more nothingness, This is nothing more than water that has had an apple waved through it...

Brillant cider – Love this cider. Reducing the sugar gives it a crisp taste with no sugary after taste. Drink it icy cold or even on ice.. perfect. Highly recommended.. give it a go.

Great Cider – Refreshing cider on a nice hot day, no hang over the next day after drinking 14 on grand final day I woke up fine :) it isn't sweet like other ciders but i like it.

lolful – If you wanted an apple flavoured goon equivalent, do not hesitate to buy yourself some Pure Blonde Cider. However if you did not want a bottle full of apple tainted water I would advise against this.

Worst Cider – Although this cider is low carb and low sugar, it also comes close to being unpalatable. It has a bitter green apple after taste! Hands down the worst cider I have tasted!
