HardCore Crisp Hard Cider

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

Bottle. Pours clear yellow, thin white head that disappears. Smells like apples and a high-school weight room. Flavor is tangy apples, and water.

(Bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/augusta/l target=blank>Lou’s Beverage Barn) Decent, at least sort of drinkable...Pale yellow with a bit of effervescence. Little ring of white head around edges. Aroma of processed apple, a bit sour, perhaps some light bread. Mouthfeel thin, a little bubbly. Scant bits of lacing. Taste is kind of like lightly soured thin sweet apple juice with a touch of yeastiness perhaps. A little tart but no real bite. Probably a little better than Woodchuck. Why don’t these macro-ciders have just a bit of body? All are so watery.

My wifey likes her hard cider, so I decided to rate one of these. I like cider as well, this was a college stand by for her.

Pour is gold with no head. Obviously the aroma is all apple. Slight metallic off flavor. Thin but enjoyable. Ace Pear makes a better macro cider. I need to try some of these Canadian Ice Ciders. This one is quaffable, but just doesn’t have the wow factor. Not bad, and average as the score suggests.

Bottle at home. Golden without a head. Aroma heavy of apples. Flavor moderate/heavy sweet but quickly changing to fresh and acidic. Light body. Mine was called Crisp Apple.

355 ml bottle. Golden colour and crystal clear. Small white head that clings to the glass. Rich fruity apple aroma. Strong crisp apple flavours, but also some ripe apple as well. Mellow texture and not too high carbonation level. Medium-dry.

Not my favorite cider. It had a strange plastic sort of taste to it. Unpleasant aftertaste. Light sweetness that is not overpowering. Yeasty smell and flavor that is not characteristic of other ciders.

(12oz bottle) Minimal white head atop crystal clear pale straw body. Aroma is moderately sweet, apple (mostly sweet, light tart), oak. Taste is medium sweet, slightly watered-down apple juice. Watery light body.

Bottle. Poured clear straw color with a small white head that diminished quickly with minimal lacing. Aroma of apple juice. Flavor of candy apple. Light body with a thin texture and soft carbonation. Refreshing drink.
