12 ounce bottle from the Foothill state store. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. A sweet apple flavor. Fairly dry fizzy apples, some overripe elements, floral. OK.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a pale clear gold with a bit of fizzy head that goes away quickly. Aroma of sweet and tart apples. Taste is the same. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and an abrupt finish. Overall, not bad. Not much different from the other Hornsby’s.

Bottle: Light apple presence and a bit sweet. Some tart in the flavor, but retains a mostly sweet apple feel. Nice crisp level of carbonation and even a bit dry.

12 oz bottle from Vons, Bakersfield; Nose of what smells like gala and red delicious apples; sweeter rather than tart; yellow gold with a small offwhite head; flavor of aplles with minor tartness and a peppery spiciness.

My bottle says ’amber draft’ so I don’t know if ’draft cider’ is the same. Smells like apple juice. Tastes like a whiskey cooler blend. Disappointing, not a real pure cider. It’s some kinda mix. Ingredients on label say: cider, carbonated water, dextrose, fructcose, citric acid,artificial flavors, carmel color, potassium sorbate & sulfuring agents.... This product should not even be listed on ratebeer.com’s website. Pretty crappy for a cider, if it truly is one. At least it don’t have a lingering bitter aftertaste.

Bottle. Amber, with a white head. Apple armoa, with the tangy flavor of apples. Nothing spectacular, but good none the less.

Pour is a clear gold. Aroma in mine was slightly metallic. Flavor is a slightly sweet and tart apple. Not to bitter and not to sour. My first cider, maybe i will re-rate after I have another to compare it to.

Light yellow, lotsa carbonation, but no head. Smells like those old "smelly markers" (green apple) that I had when I was a kid. A bit of a green apple taste, with a bit of a funky aftertaste. I haven't tried many ciders, but from what I have, this seems about average. However, I won't feel the need to drink this one again soon.
