I've been really ejoying Kirin but I'm looking to branch out into something that's not sickly sweet like Somersby, Strongbow, 5 Seeds et al.
Any suggestions?

+1 for The Hills Cider. I'm generally not a cider drinker but on the rare occasion I do feel like a cider, this is the one I'll go for.
Savannah Dry
This is a superb drink. I rate it as the best cider I've tasted.
I don't drink alcohol anymore, but when I did I used to like Mercury Cider best of all the Australian ciders - the dry one with the green label.
Addlestones was my favourite British cider - not sure how easy that is to get here.
Three Oaks Cider Co.
Only the red bottles, the red cans taste different.
Pure Blonde Cider. Most others I've tried are much too sweet
Coldstream.
The bottles are way better.
My wife loves Coldstream, wont drink anything else. I use her leftovers to make a really nice apple cider vinegar.

This is the stuff you need to try, not sweeet at all.
I cannot buy cider there's no free pillow included!
Saxton Cider from NZ. Last I bought a case of 24 for $52 at Dan's.
They market themselves as No added sugar, preservatives, sulphites etc etc and I confirmed this with a rep from their Facebook Page.
No added sugar… Interesting - any idea how many grams of sugar per bottle? For a company that proudly states no added sugar it's quite difficult to find the actual volume per 100ml or 330ml etc.
My Q: Just to clarify, you do mention the no sugar and no additivies. Is there any artificial sweetners added to the cider instead of sugar?
Their A: No artificial sweetners. We just add back a little of the apple or pear juice after the ferment. Cheers emma
From their Facebook page: TL;DR, In Apple 10.9g sugar and Pear 4.6g sugar for the bottle.

I like Dr Pilkington's Miracle Cider.
Tried this yesterday. Girlfriend liked it
My fav is Custard&Co but might be too sweet for you. I also love Frank's! Their cherry cider might be a bit sweet but the others are great. The ones I don't like (because I like sweet) and therefore you might would be Napoleone, Hills, Bulmers…
Here's a good explanation! https://www.danmurphys.com.au/liquor-library/beer/styles/cid…Had some Frank's cherry last night and enjoyed it. Thanks.
Mercury Hard or get out of the country you soft bellied ponse
Batlow Cloudy cider.
James Squire Orchard Crush - more tart than sweet.
The Hills Cider Company Apple Cider is a refreshing, delicious drier cider too.
