I'm Obsessed With This New Hard Cider That Only Has 100 Calories and 2 Grams of Sugar

The can is not lying to you when it says it's "super dry." When I first sipped it, I was expecting somewhat of the sweetness or tartness that typically comes with hard ciders, but I didn't get that at all. Instead, it had a smooth, dry taste and pleasant finish. What tends to turn me off of hard cider is when it is too sweet or tastes like apple juice, but this reminds me more of a nice dry white wine. With sweeter ciders, I can usually only stomach one, but I easily enjoyed a couple of these (over a couple hours!). I didn't drink it with food, but since it's so dry, it would pair well with just about anything: grilled chicken, a burger, pasta, a salad, fish . . . basically anything you would drink a dry white wine with.

One can of Austin Eastciders Brut Super Dry Cider is 12 fluid ounces and has 4.2 percent alcohol by volume. The nutrition label reads:

Calories: 100
Total Fat: 0 grams
Total Carbohydrates: 4 grams
Total Sugars: 2 grams (includes 2 grams of added sugar)
Protein: 0 grams

Compare that to one 12-ounce can of Austin Eastciders Ruby Red Grapefruit Cider, which has five percent alcohol by volume, 160 calories, and 13 grams of sugar (including nine grams of added sugar).
