HardCore Golden Cider

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

Pretty decent cider, a well carbonated golden body with a nose of fresh apples and outdoorsy woodiness. The oak aging doesn’t really come across in the flavor, but it’s not overpoweringly sweet and has a lightly tart finish. Okay.

Head is small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly yeasty (cobwebs, dough), with a note of apple. Flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Light to medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. One of the better mainstream American ciders...nice assertive natural apple aroma. Too sweet, as usual, but not artificially so. Basically, apple soda.

This bottled brew poured a fully diminished head of small to large sized white almost transparent bubbles that left behind a transparent yellow almost uncarbonated body and a small lace. The aroma is a very nice apple and the mouthfeel is tingly thick smooth with a mild apple cider bite in the finish. The flavor is sweet with apple with a slight acidity.

Bottle, 35 cl. Clear yellow with a green touch, no head but some fizzy bubbles. Fresh aroma of red apples, with some faint wooden notes. Lively carbonation which is perfect for this kind of drink. Very refreshing, dry with rich fruit acids and a little mild sweetness.

Deep golden in color with no head and a good appearance of carbonation. Oak and apples,starts sweets ends dry with a imporessively full body for a cider.

The last in the cider line that this little town has to offer.Nice color,strong apple aroma,no head and what was there faded pretty damn fast.The flavor was a little softer then the other ciders i've had,not nearly as hard a bite as before yet the flavor is still some what the same apple with a muffin like taste some what over ripe apple,that gives a sweet/sour feel to it with the sour coming in at the tail end of the finish.still a fine brew and on a hot day might take the place of some of the hot day brews i have on my mind.

Disappointingly flat...(just my bottle?) Nice rich ripe apply aroma. Good sweet golden delicious flavors...with a clean crisp finish. But this needed a LOT more spritziness to be considered really refreshing.

Pours a nice medium golden yellow color. Smooth apple aromas. Flavor starts out sweet and finishes with a tart ending.
