Original Sin was born out of the NYC experience. The founders, all NYC’ers, came to see the need for a superior cider, a cider that was clean and complex with a noticeable bite. The quest to create the perfect recipe encompassed both day and night. Day was spent in upstate in a winery, tasting, testing and mixing. Nights were spent in NYC bars, getting feedback from bar owners and patrons. The result, Original Sin Hard Cider was released to immediate acclaim from sources as diverse as the The New York Times, Paper Magazine, and Market Watch.

Pour is a cloudy chalk color with a fizzy head. Aroma is nothing special as artificial apple is the only thing you detect. Flavor is much of the same. Very artificial and watery. This is closer to a zima than a good cider.

Sparkling clear pale yellow color with a small frothy white head. Light sweet apple aroma. Sweet apple flavor with a light tart ending.

Almost a pointless review... for a pointless cider. Flavor is bland, with a budweiser-like flavor with some apple candy dropped in the bottom of the bottle. Bland, ordinary, and yet another cheap American cider.

Thanks to Wunderbier for this one!! This is my first cider, so maybe I’m way off the mark here, but... This actually made a small white head that left a nice lace on the glass. The body just had the least bit of pale yellow color to it; Champagne-like. The aroma was clean, and fresh, not artificial, apple with a hint of honey. The palate was lively effervescent, sweet, with a wonderfully light tangyness. With 6% alcohol, this could be sneaky stuff. Very nice, I’ll try and check out some cider ratings and sample a few more of these. Re-rate After sampling some very fine ciders in Quebec, I have dropped this down from a previous score of 4.1.
