Hard ciders are my alcoholic beverage of choice, and I'm always up for trying new flavors, so I've had many different ones. I was right at home while visiting the UK which had a large variety of ciders in every bar. Below are the flavors I've tasted and my opinions of them.
Brand | Flavor | Nation | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Angry Orchard | Crisp Apple | USA | Decent taste, but unfortunately the bulk of bars in the USA have it as their only cider, so it's very over played. |
Angry Orchard | Easy Apple | USA | Less sweet than their crisp apple. I prefer it over their original. |
Angry Orchard | The Old Fashioned | USA | Adds cherry, orange peel, and bourbon for a more robust flavor. |
Angry Orchard | Rosé | USA | Made from red-fleshed apples for an slightly different flavor. |
Angry Orchard | Pear | USA | Too sweet. My least favorite of this brand. |
Blake's Hard Cider | El Chavo | USA | Habanero and mango flavor. It's interesting to have heat from the pepper, but I don't care much for the flavor. |
Blake's Hard Cider | Lite, Classic | USA | Artificial sweet taste. Tolerable, but not enjoyable. |
Blake's Hard Cider | Lite, Berry | USA | Artificial sweet taste, but with berries. Pretty awful. |
Blake's Hard Cider | Lite, Mojito | USA | Artificial sweet taste, but with line and mint. Disgusting. |
B. Nektar | Zombie Killer | USA | Cider with cherry and honey. Not a fan. |
Crispin | Original | USA | Green apple with a hint of lemon and lime. Decent. |
Redds | Apple Ale | USA | Mix of beer and cider. Not that great. |
Redds | Apple Ale, Wicked | USA | Same taste as Redds, but with 8% alcohol instead of 5%. Gave me a headache. |
Redds | Blueberry Ale | USA | Mix of beer, cider, and blueberry. A bit sickly. |
Redds | Strawberry Ale | USA | Mix of beer, cider, and strawberry. A bit sickly. |
Stella Artois Cidre | Apple | Belgium | Very good crisp cider, not too sweet. |
Strongbow | Gold Apple | England | My favorite cider. Crisp semi-sweet taste. |
Strongbow | Orange Blossom | England | Adds a hint of orange for a delicious citrus flavor. |
Strongbow | Honey | England | Although sweeter, it's a tasty mild sweetness. |
Strongbow | Cherry Blossom | England | Adds a hint of cherry. Makes it a bit sweeter, but still a good flavor. |
Virtue Cider | Michigan Apple | USA | Semi-dry, great flavor. |
Virtue Cider | Brut | USA | Dry, great flavor. |
Virtue Cider | Michigan Cherry | USA | Cider with cherry added. Very delicious. |
