Had this guy a long time ago when I was roofing in the ghetto of Rockford, IL way back in 2003. The guy I was working with (true thug) was talking about it all day and used such descriptive terms as "Fuck 211 dog, this shit will fuck you in the ass". Needless to say, when we got done for the day I had to try one. We stopped at a drive-thru liquor store on the way to dropping him off and he bought us each a bottle for a "road soda". I remember it being sweet and dry at the same time. Wish I could still find it, because I would love to give it another try.

Suprisingly good all around. Aroma isn’t great, smells like apples and grass, a bit like a cheap macro. No head of any sort. A deep sparkling gold body. Taste is sweet but not cloying at all, dry finish and very very refreshing. Goes down with soft carbonation.

Slightly acidic, slightly cooked, apple aromas. Light amber color. It has some body. Mild carbonation. Slightly tart flavor of apple and appleskin. Finish is a bit puckery. Clean, leaving a pasteurized apple juice impression.

Awful rubber aroma. Clear yellow. The taste wouldn’t be bad if it wasn’t for the presence of rubber. Absolutely disgusting.

9.3 oz bottle - This cider has a light, sweet apple aroma. The body is light to medium and the flavor is moderately sweet but manages to avoid the almost overpowering sweetness of a Woodchuck (the easiest hard cider to find around here). It is of course all about the apples and as another rater said, it’s no Dupont cider. But it is decent.

Pretty cool opaque black bottle, 9.3 oz. Pour is like Mott’s apple juice, same color. It does have some carbonation in there that is visible. The aroma is of apple juice, perhaps a little more sour. There are a lot more ingredients in there than apples, says so right on the label. A little coarse taste for apple cider, it is almost like the alcohol was added after it was brewed. The feel is a little flat, not much tingle on this brew. Finish is alky for a cider, it really makes it’s presence felt. It is somewhat in the same vein as a premixed whiskey drink or wine cooler. Overall, Cider Jack and Woodchuck is a better tasting brew. However, this stuff is better than that Hornsby stuff. I was a little disappointed with this, I guess my anticipation and expectations were too high for something that was from England and states ’The Ultimate in Quality’ - not impressed.

Pour is a golden with no head. Aroma is of green apples. Flavor is of very tart apples and cinammon with a sugar backbone. Clean and crisp and vey worth trying.

Deffinately a cider. Tastes like a lot of very tart fruit, tart, fruit flavor, deffinately with an apple flavor. Golden color, white head.

Clear orange-tinted golden colour with the lack of any head. Aroma of a sweet white wine (notably Reisling) in addition to fragrant apples and sugar. Light-bodied; Sweet flavour of apples initially and fades to a quick freshness. Aftertaste bland and dry. Overall, a decent cider, not my favourite-but the alcohol is hidden well! I bought this bottle at the Opera House Gourmet in Manassas, Virginia and sampled it on 20-November-2003.

Yellow, heavily carbonated. Good looking package. Not too sweet. Refreshing. I do wish the bottle was a little bigger.
