Rainbow Seeker from Blake's Hard Cider Co. the pineapple was lighter than I expected, and the sage is not overpowering. easy drinking & good qpr. Reviewed on 09 Jun 2018 4 likes

Rose from Shacksbury this one is seriously dry, with no added sugar, and only slight fruitiness. (much like a good rosé wine.) Reviewed on 09 Jun 2018 3 likes

Ciderkin from Argus Cidery Drinks almost more like a dry bubbly wine. Lovely tart thing going on. Purchased at Crafty Beer Guys in Huntersville. Reviewed on 23 Mar 2018 3 likes

Cherry Vin from Argus Cidery this is technically a bone-dry cherry wine. not that that matters though, it is delicious either way. would pair with something savory, maybe a fatty steak with spicy fruit salsa. Reviewed on 22 Mar 2018 3 likes

Brut from Cidre Ruwet definitely one of the driest ciders I've tried lately. very light in taste, definitely reminds me of fresh apples, but in a pleasant not-too-fruity kinda way. Reviewed on 23 Mar 2018 2 likes

Dry from Shacksbury dry. yellow in color. not overly fruity. i know that sounds really basic, but it's actually quite nice, not a thing to say against it. and that in itself is a good thing. Reviewed on 04 Feb 2018 2 likes

Appalachian classic dry hard cider from Hawk Knob this bottle was given to me by our Beer Guy to sample out. the bottle was open when it was handed to me. I'm wondering if that's why this seems a little flat, both in taste and texture. a bit like a golden delicious apple Maybe which is definitely not my favorite. didn't seem to have much Sparkle, but again could be because the bottle was already open when it was given to me. Not sure what time it was opened. otherwise, unoffensive, if a little boring Reviewed on 13 Jan 2018 2 likes

Original Apple from Magners Cider Sadly, quite average. Completely unoffensive though, a bit like apple juice. Drinkable enough, pretty dry. Reviewed on 12 Nov 2017 2 likes

Dry Rosé from Original Sin Craft Cider Bone dry, refreshing & elegant. Lovely pale salmon. Tiny bubbles. Aside from freshly pressed New York apples, the only ingredients are natural grape skin extract, champagne yeast, & sulfites. Definitely reminiscent of a sparkling wine, I almost get hints of golden raisin & something savory. The only reason I didn't give it one star more is there something a little odd on the nose. Overall, delicious, elegant & refined. A no-brainer. Reviewed on 11 Nov 2017 2 likes

Apple Bite Cidre Bouche Biologique from Domaine du Verger definite red apple skin flavors. also some kinda weird, funky raisin-y thing. lots of customers complimented it, but sold very little. it wasn't really sweet or dry, just weird & in the middle. Reviewed on 06 Nov 2017 2 likes
