12 oz bottle from Safeway, Port Angeles; Nose of fresh red delicious apples with a hint of tartness; translucent yellow with a medium white head; flavor of red delicious apples with a slight tartness rather than sweetness. Finish is dry and slightly tart. Not bad for a mass produced cider.

Apple aroma, not unlike the amber cider from Hornsby’s. Clear golden color, with nice streams of carbonation. Good balance and body, nothing off putting. Fairly ordinary. Reminds me of Apple Slice soda. Rumor had it that it was discontinued by Pepsi because it was fermenting in the soda machines.A google search shows that it is still available in certain parts of the US. I haven’t seen it in nearly 20 years. I remember having one that had indeed partially fermented and it tasted like this. If you’re jonesing for the old Apple Slice, give this a try.

Green apple aroma. Dark yellow/light golden color. Clean, apple and cinnamon taste, good balance of sweet and tart. Alcohol is extremely well masked. Much better than I remember, and surprisingly good.

12 oz. bottle. Flowery apple aroma. Light gold color with a white head that went fast. A bit thin. Light carbonation. Starts with sweet green apple. Moves on to a "crisp", slightly tart apple. There is sweetness in the finish, and the mouth is left clean. It’s surprisingly good.

12 oz. bottle. Aroma of cooked apple. Maybe just overripe apple. Brassy gold color with a flash of white head. A bit thin. Very light carbonation. Something of apple cider, cider vinegar, and a little sweetness. Finish is cooked apple.

12oz Bottle Pours out a clear light gold topped with a white head. A nice aroma of apple. A little tart not bad for a cider.

As Hornsby’s Amber Draft / Hard Cider
Deep blond color. The aroma is light, sweet, with mature apples. A good body, with balanced mix of mature apples juice, some sourness, some sweetness and the necessary carbonation. Refreshing and drinkable.

My bottle says ’amber draft’ so I don’t know if ’amber’ 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 say: cider, carbonated water, dextrose, fructcose, citric acid, artificial flavors, caramel 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. Will not buy again & I like cider.
gave a cheers!

Ingredients on label say: cider, carbonated water, dextrose, fructcose, citric acid,artificial flavors, carmel color, potassium sorbate & sulfuring agents....
