Light yellow, lotsa carbonation, but no head. Smells like those old "smelly markers" (green apple) that I had when I was a kid. A bit of a green apple taste, with a bit of a funky aftertaste. I haven't tried many ciders, but from what I have, this seems about average. However, I won't feel the need to drink this one again soon.

Blah. Overshadowing any real flavor is the sweetness, and a dry one at that. It's like they remembered to not make this too sweet, but then forgot to do anything else with it. A little softer than the draft cider, more fruit tones.

Aroma of apple juice. Clear golden color with lots of bubbles. Apple flavor is very sweet. Thin and refreshing. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hard Crisp Cider on 03 Aug 2018 at 20:34 - Score: 4

A friend left a bottle of this in our fridge, so why not. I generally don''t like cider beers but this wasn''t too bad for the style. Along the same lines as Woodchuck, although I found this to have a weaker flavor and aroma. Has the same fermented apple flavor and fizzy effervescence.

yuck. I will grant this is not an overly sweet cider, but coming from Earnest and Julio Gallo Wineries, I was not surprised to find a very cheap wine taste to it. It poured clear and crisp, but i couldnt get around that cheap wine taste and ended up pouring out my last one in the 6 pack.
