Dry Hard Cider from Seattle Cider So nice and dry. A bit of funk in the smell which is only hinted at in the taste - lets the overall sip stay smooth but adds depth. This is one of my six pack go-tos. Reviewed on 09 Mar 2024 4 likes

Sweetgrass from Bauman's Cider I love the collaboration between Bauman’s, son of the Smith, and Lan Su Chinese Garden! A transpacific partnership that’s created something one of a kind! The apple taste is similar to apple sauce, really clean and distinct. The Japanese sweet grass gives the cider a nice natural sweetness that doesn’t make you draw back from it. This is an awesome project and I would certainly order it off a menu. Reviewed on 07 Sep 2024 3 likes

Hereford Gold from ANXO A great choice for someone looking for earth, funk, and bitterness because all of these elements are balanced really well in a bright (yet murky) golden cider. Impressive in all that it offers really, but those elements are just not my favorite. Could pair well with something on the opposite side of the spectrum, something sweet perhaps.

Interstellar from Pinball Cider This one is close to perfect; it’s clean appearance belies the nice fruity aroma as you raise the glass. It’s the perfect level of dry and lets the tartness of the apples be the foundation upon which the berry flavor sits. It ends with a floral taste that mixes seamlessly with the fruit. I’d order this 10/10 times if I saw it on a menu. Reviewed on 27 Jun 2024 3 likes

Eighth Anniversary from Bauman's Cider The can says it all. This is like an Apple champagne though not quite as bubbly. I could drink a gallon of this stuff - right up my alley. Reviewed on 24 Jun 2024 3 likes

Sun of Pomme Cider from Botanist & Barrel Cidery & Winery A bit on the sour and bitter side for me. Those who like that or who aren’t as sensitive as I am will probably really enjoy this because all in all, those elements are balanced with each other along with a bit of funk in a well-crafted way.

Kingston Black from Greenwood Cider Company What this cider has, it has a lot of. Starts with a bold fruity smell. Has a serious bitter funk that doesn’t linger too long. For folks who lean toward bitter/acid/funk this is for you - there’s definite craft involved in the making of this one, lots of complexity. Just not for me. Reviewed on 23 May 2024 3 likes

McIntosh Heirloom from Montana CiderWorks The taste is as golden as the color. I normally don’t like anything sweeter than semi dry but this is an exception. Each sip takes a nice little trip from sweetness to tartness. Pair it with something savory and it’s even better. Reviewed on 24 Mar 2024 3 likes

Porters Perfection from Bauman's Cider Bold fruitiness with a nice little funk. A little bit of citrus gives the flavor some pop but the dryness keeps it from getting too imbalanced. Reviewed on 12 Mar 2024 3 likes

Imperial Cider from Bauman's Cider I quite enjoyed this for its bold yet balanced flavors. Very nice body that lingers just long enough with hints of grape. It describes itself as dry but I thought there was enough sweetness to call it semi dry, though I’m very sensitive to sweetness. I just couldn’t stop sipping this one - I about chugged it Reviewed on 01 Mar 2024 3 likes
