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.

12 ounce bottle from a Kroger. Pours a clear golden color with a thin fizzy head that lasts a while for a cider. Aroma of sweet, artificial apples. The taste is tart apples. A bit grainy. Thin bodied. Meh.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Looks like apple juice. Smells and tastes like apple. Sweet and a little tart. It’s a cider. While there is nothing really special here, it’s drinkable and fits the fall season pretty well.

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.

11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a clear gold with a thin white head. The aroma is granny smith and vanilla bean. The flavor is fructose sweetness, and more tart than most ciders. The palate is medium, lightly astringent, and sticky. Finishes fairly clean. Overall, this is a nice cider, with more flavor and heavier body than most.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours clear gold with a small white quickly disappearing head that leaves a collar of foam. Aroma is ripe apples but not as strong as the Crisp Apple I rated before this. Taste’s pretty much the same as the aforementioned cider. Pretty dull. Watery. Thin-bodied with soft carbonation.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a clear yellow with a quickly dissipating white head that leaves a ring. Aroma is ripe apples (what else? I’m still new to cider rating, so I don’t even know what else to expect here). Taste is sweet and tart. Has a somewhat unpleasant sulfury aftertaste. Carbonation is fairly soft (don’t know if that’s normal). Has a real thin body. Seems pretty mediocre.

12 ounce bottle from Wegman’s Lake Manassas in Gainesville, VA, opened 5.17.11. Pours a clear gold color with a very thin white head. Aroma of apples, some graininess and a chemical note. The taste is sweet apples, some graininess, a bit of tartness. Thin body. Drinkable, but not as good as most other commercial cider options, and the addition of artificical flavors makes this a drain pour for me.

Throw in from New Beer. Tulip glass. Extra cold, as directed. Baaaahh. First cider I’ve had that indicated "dextrose" as one of the main ingredients. Clear, glistening, pale gold color. Faint wisp of lace. Smell is a perfect mimic of apple sauce. ...And so is the taste. This taste like Mott’s & nothing more/less. Backsweetener & natural/artificial flavors contribute to make it pretty much spot on. Slightly tart, light caramel, red juicy American eating apples. Even a bit of irritation from those pesticides. Sulfites are barely heard from. 5.5% alcohol, really? Sparse carbonation. Slightly too thick & high calorie to actually replace apple juice. A so-so start on a marinade, or getting the babysitter drunk is about all I see useful for this stuff.
