Hornsby’s Amber Hard Cider is a medium bodied cider, with a golden amber hue and notes of green apple on the noes. The taste has ripe fruit notes throughout with a full apple flavor. The finish is balanced and smooth with a tart dryness.

331ml bottle. Pours a clear, golden orange with a very thin white head. Sweet aroma of apples with some tartness. Sweet flavour of apples and light caramel with a dry, bitter, tart, light acidic finish. Medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Disappointing, there are better ciders out there.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass and a wine glass. The head lasts longer in the pint glass, but both heads are bubbly white and dissipate within less than twenty seconds tops. There wasn’t any lacing and there was a ton of carbonated bubbles rising because it was a clear yellow color that was seen.
The smell had some tart and sweet apples and that’s about it.
The taste was exactly the same.
On the palate, this one sat pretty light and could be sessionable pounder in the summer. But the carbonation came across pretty sharp on this one.
Overall, for me, not exactly one I’d have again but then it is a cider.

Just a tick from the Winn Dixie. Sold as Hard Amber Cider now, new label. Possibly the worst cider I’ve ever had, though I guess it isn’t a bad drink. Dull golden color, lifeless. Apple nose but tart and sweet flavors are a bit overhwhelming, alcohol is prominent, quite winey really - and in the end I’m left with the feeling I’ve just drunk some bum wine. But, on the bright side, this would rate highly compared to some bum wines.

12oz bottle from the state store
Pours clear golden, no head or lacing. Mild aroma of apple juice and cardboard, flavors of tart apples with a dry finish
OK, but not a fan of this one.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with small white head that quickly diminishes to nothing the aroma is apple and citrus. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet apple and tang. Easy to drink a good cider from Hornsbys.

11.2oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark gold with almost no head. Aroma of sweet red apples and sugar. Taste is light sour and light sweet. Green and red apples. Medium bodied with a sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. It is a decent cider, but nothing that special.

Bottle. Musty ripe apple aroma. Light amber with a small white head. Flavor is slightly fermented sweet apple juice. Light body, moderate carbonation. Not especially good.
