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!

bottle - Pours golden with almost no head. The aroma is sour apples.. It’s kind of sweet, but not as sweet as the Woodchuck amber that many people have had. The mouthfeel is quite bubbly for cider. The finish is dry.

Pour is a clear gold. Aroma in mine was slightly metallic. Flavor is a slightly sweet and tart apple. Not to bitter and not to sour. My first cider, maybe i will re-rate after I have another to compare it to.

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.
