Hornsbys Crisp Apple (Hard Apple)

Brewed by Hornsbys Pubdrafts Ltd./E and J Gallo
Style: Cider
Modesto, California USA

Very winey and grapey, in addition to the obvious apple flavor. Alcohol too dominant.

One of the better ciders, in my opinion. More carbonated, and less sweet than some of the competition, which is a plus in my book.

A very enjoyable cider! ..had at Molly’s while watching KOTH..(someone’s got the munchies) ...... Lacing and foam were adequate... Taste was very refreshing and the sweetness seemed to fit this cider wonderfully! ... One of the nicer ciders around!

Nice light cider. Very strong on the apple aroma but not to sweet when drinking. A little more dry than the Amber cider offered from Hornsby’s. Poured into a chilled glass on a hot day, this cider is very enjoyable.

Wickedly sweet taste. Reminiscent of apple juice, but somehow much more refreshing. For those of you who like complex flavors, stay away.

Bottle. Pours clear golden, like carbonated apple juice of course. Aroma is quite apple-y, as is the flavor, with a slightly dry, tart character. Pretty decent.

Pours with little head. Looks like apple juice. Smells like apple juice mixed with Sprite. The flavor has a hint of cider and apple pie. I have had unfermented ciders that were way better than this.

Apple aroma, not unlike the amber cider from Hornsby’s. Clear golden color, with nice streams of carbonation. Good balance and body, nothing off putting. Fairly ordinary. Reminds me of Apple Slice soda. Rumor had it that it was discontinued by Pepsi because it was fermenting in the soda machines.A google search shows that it is still available in certain parts of the US. I haven’t seen it in nearly 20 years. I remember having one that had indeed partially fermented and it tasted like this. If you’re jonesing for the old Apple Slice, give this a try.
