Oct 20, 2007 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.

Oct 8, 2007 12oz. At least this one isn’t conflicted about what it is, being dextrose and fructose laden grocery store goodness. Apple perfume and honey with loads of carbonation makes for a fairly refreshing drink. Slightly disappointed in how much corn goes into this one. J. Gallo on ratebeer? scary.

Sep 17, 2007 Updated: Nov 1, 2007I have never liked this cider at all. It is thin and bland, yet with too much tartness and little flavour. The flavour that is there also seems odd. It almost gives me a sore throat.

Aug 24, 2007 Updated: Aug 25, 200712 oz Bottle - Pours straw-yellow with very little white head (with slight lacing). Aroma is almost exactly like apple juice, smells a little acidic/tartiness, and sweet. Flavor is very similar - but with carbonation and a very tiny dry aftertaste. I’ve had much better - "K" for instance - but this is less artificial and cloying than Woodchuck, I think.

Aug 6, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Flowery apple aroma. Light gold color with a white head that went fast. A bit thin. Light carbonation. Starts with sweet green apple. Moves on to a "crisp", slightly tart apple. There is sweetness in the finish, and the mouth is left clean. It’s surprisingly good.

Aug 4, 2007 12oz Bottle Pours out a clear light gold topped with a white head. A nice aroma of apple. A little tart not bad for a cider.

Jun 16, 2007 I preefer the distinct apple cider flavor of this beer, over the other Hornsby products. A higher alcohol content would be preferred. Overall I really enjoy this beer.

Jun 11, 2007 Nice Tart yet crisp clean taste. A bit preferred over the original. Would have prefered a better alcoholic kick.
