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.

My bottle says ’crisp apple’ so I’m not sure if ’hard apple’ is the same. Smells like apple juice. Not as sweet as I expected. Has a flavor like somebody added the alcohol in after it was brewed. A little disappointed because it don’t seem to be real 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....yuk. Will not be fooled nor buy again!

Pale yellow with athick white head. Nice apple aroma and a tart apple taste and finish. Not too bad for a macro cider.

Mostly neutral with light apple notes. Bubblegum flavors - tastes somewhat artificial.

This is slightly better than their regular "Draft Cider" brand in that its far cleaner rather than insipid. Fizzy with faint hints of bruised apple. There are far better commercial ciders out there.

Aroma of apple juice. Clear golden color with lots of bubbles. Apple flavor is very sweet. Thin and refreshing. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hard Crisp Cider on 03 Aug 2018 at 20:34 - Score: 4
