5 Seeds by Tooheys Extra Dry
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Lion Nathan has launched a new addition to their Tooheys Extra Dry range, 5 Seeds.
Have a guess what type of beer this actually is? Cider!
5 Seeds has been produced by the same people that made the popular Tooheys Extra Dry brew which is reassuring to know. It’s a medium cider reported to have slightly tangy apple characteristics coming through in both the flavour and aroma. Real apple juice sourced from Braeburn apples is used in this cider to produce a very light coloured beverage that in appearance can be compared to white wine. The aptly chosen name 5 Seeds, refers to when a perfect apple is cut in half across the core and in theory should reveal five seed chambers each with one seed in it. I can’t say I’ve ever had a perfect apple but obviously the creators of this beer have.
Unfortunately I have yet to see this cider make an appearance at my local bottle store but I am optimistic it will be on the shelves shortly awaiting my review. This is new territory for Lion Nathan so if you have already tried it, please post your comments below as we are all keen to know.

just got a 6 pack of the cider. $14.95 from my local 1st choice. first taste is refreshing. Stay tuned review coming soon
I tried this last weekend and looooved it. Not only did my local pub serve it to me each time with a nice cold pint size glass full of ice, there was a promotion going with scratchie cards and I won both the foldable ray-ban style sunglasses AND the funky visor. It’s a winner in my book.
Tastes very refreshing and by drinking it in the glass with ice, I kept hydrated, so not much of a hangover.
This is my new drink of choice!
Tasted this a week or so ago at a friend\’s party. Delicious! Definitely one to try.
Does anyone know if this is Coeliac friendly?
[...] month we spoke about 5 Seeds and how it is marketed as part of the Tooheys Extra Dry family, pitched to younger drinkers and [...]
Luuuuv the graphics but the drink is nothing special. Won’t be switching ciders just yet.
Not bad the first taste very refreshing they gave me a bottle to try, promo, I like it it will be nice for a change in between the norm ,, nice
hi have tried it its taste as it looks i have been a cider drinker for 42 years and this is very bland tried 2 by it self and 2 with a meal and 2 at another time watching the bike race it didnt impress me either way i tried it i would rate it 1.5 and will not be buying another lot a total waste of 14.95 as i said it taste as it looks as in read between the lines
I bought a slab (carton) of tooheys extra dry beer and one has a sticker of 5 seeds on the .lid what is this about?
Hi! To Louise, I am coeliac and I have drunken a six pack in a night and no ill effects…..except a headache. No stomach ache, no fatigue, no bad tempers, no diarrhoea.
YOU ARE FREE!
I have had three cartons of 5 seeds over last few weeks and love it , but I would like to know the sugar and carb stats on it.
Tried this for the first time last night & LOVED IT! Being an avid cidar drinker i found it smooth & refreshing.
If you want to know the dietary stats see here

great taste, more refreshing than beer sorry to say. Just started having them at work for afterwork drinks. Ive introduced a couple of beer drinkers to it also with a good rap!
Well, I am trying this for the first time right now. I have had many ciders and this would have to be one of the most bland and boring ciders that I have had. Will not be buying again.
baught one yesterday on my lunch break , was very nice. will be buying a 6 pack later today .
I just drank my first bottle and I’m starting on the second one
taste real good must try +++++
hey, is this like a beer with apple flavoring thrown in? because i’m not a beer drinker and i’m wondering does it have a very strong beer taste to it?
i’m trying to ween myself off the lolly drinks..is this a good start? ha
Hi Claire, 5 Seeds would be a great starting point to get off the ‘lolly drinks’. It’s technically a cider, so it has little to no beer taste so you don’t have to worry about that. Go get yourself a six-pack and let us know what you think, hopefully the next step will be beer
Cheers.
