Hornsbys Crisp Apple (Hard Apple)

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

An all around good cider. Sweet and tart apple aroma. The appearance is pale golden, the flavor is full of apples and, it has just the right sweetness. There is some tartness too, but just shy of what it should be. Also, I would carbonate it a little more.

Nice, appley color. High carbonation. Akin to Martinelli’s with alcohol in it. Not bad, but there are better options out there.

Not a big fan of ciders. Still, this one it pretty decent. It tastes pretty much what you expect it to taste like: apple cider with alcohol.

Pours with a light gold and plentiful carbonation. The aroma is artificial like other macro ciders. It reminds me of sour apple candy with Granny Smith as the dominant apple. The taste is definitely tart. It, amzingly leaves your mouth feeling dry at the end. It really is similar to eating a Granny Smith apple. Much better than I thought it would be. However, I would not want to drink a lot of these things.

I’ll never be a "Cider Guy," but this is what I imagine they should be like. It’s pale yellow with a filmy white head and a small bubbled carbonation. The aroma is of tart, fresh apples, skins, seeds, stems and all. The flavor reflects the nose, delivering an extra kick of tartness in the crisp finish. Refreshing.

Really not that bad. The taste and aroma is dominated by apples, obviously, and little else, but this drink is extremely quaffable without any offensive tastes or scents whatsoever.

Clear, pale yellow, with a slight greenish tint. No head. Candyish cinnamon apple aroma, with chamaigne-like carbonation. Juicy and sweet, with dominant flavors of green appple and honey. Tasty, but way too sweet to drink a lot of.

Pours chardonnay colored, or even the 6th piss after you’ve been drinking all night...very little yellow here. Very little head. Aroma of big granny Smith apples, with some hops. Tastes granny Smith apply, with some Bartlett pear and hop elements at the finish. The finish is smooth, fruity, crisp, and damned delicious! I’d gladly drink this over any Budmilloors style any day of the week. This one is pretty good.
