HardCore Crisp Hard Cider

Brewed by HardCore Cider (Boston Beer Company)
Style: Cider
Cincinnati, Ohio USA

Pours a rich yellow with minimal carbonation. Aroma is faintly of sweet apples (though it’s still a little cold). In the mouth, it’s got a good apple presence, but it’s also a little artificial tasting, like real cider augmented with some extra fruit flavors (the label does cite "natural flavor"). I guess it’s fine for what it is, an alcoholic fruit beverage, but it’s hard to compare it to the complexity of a "real" cider.

Great for an inexpensive bottled cider. It puts Hornsby’s and Woodchuck to shame. I drink it like tea, to accompany harsher IPAs and stouts. It does the job, and leaves me very satisfied.

A good hard cider that tastes alot like beer. Very malty with a little frutiness in the background. If you like sweet ciders go for woodchuck or hornsby green label, but for a true malt, this one is for you.

Pours a bright bronze color. Aromas and flavour of sweet, ripe apples. Finishes bitter and somewhat dry.

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a small white head. Aroma of aplles with some hints of alcohol. Sweet crisp apple flavor. Short dry finish.

Clear bright yellow with some minute particles and no head. Sharp chardonney aroma. Sweet, cheap white wine with some apple flavor. Nice tongue drying tannic quality but not too good overall.

Smells champagney. Thin pale yellow with soda-pop like bubbles. Tastes like apples, not too dry. Finishes with champagne like taste.

Didn’t care too much for this one. Nice look for a cider, golden with a thin head that soon transforms into a ring. The aroma is of metallic apple skins. The flavor is a bit too sweet for me, sweeter than the apple juice that I sometimes have for breakfast. Nice dry finish.
