Just Right Semi-Dry from Saint Arnold Brewing Company More hoppy than I usually like my ciders. And as has been noted, like other Saint Arnold's, this drink has a tartness- for me, it curls the tongue. Which hinders a good swig. Instead this is a sipping cider with a kick of fizzy Reviewed on 22 Jan 2021 5 likes

Sweet Aged Apple from Locust Cider A light foam that remained in the top of my drink, this cider is sweet but not that syrupy, simple taste of an adult apple juice. It pours rose golden, hits your nose with an inviting scent and the taste is smooth and light. No heavy aftertaste or bitterness so very easy to drink. Reviewed on 14 Dec 2020 5 likes

Hibiscus Seasion from Stem Ciders Nice dark ruby color, semi-dry but enough sweet for me to enjoy this cider. Definitely taste the hibiscus and tart for a clean finish. Reviewed on 07 Oct 2020 5 likes

Cider Noir from Texas Keeper Cider Very different cider from anything I have tasted. Friend says it reminds her of a stout and would taste good with chocolate. There are multiple layers: coffee, a sharp bitterness, and the background warmth of apples. I feel like this is a special occasion cider but not one I would drink often.

Harvest Cider from Eden Cider Strong apple scent and wonderful golden pour. Little to no carbonation, thin. An initial semi dry bite coupled with a tangy taste of a classic cider. Delicious and felt like a "fancier" cider than I usually drink. Reviewed on 29 Jan 2021 - Got cider at Ronin Restaurant in Bryan 4 likes

Caple Road Blend No 3 from Westons Cider Really really enjoyed this one. Delightful semi dry and smooth taste. Def ends sour. A little heavy on the carbonation. Reviewed on 19 Jan 2021 4 likes

Cherry Bobbin’ Trolls from Red Clay Ciderworks First off, I love cherry-inspired ciders. The tart start and sweet finish are perfect. The only draw back of this cider is the commercial taste, which feels a little too produced instead of a more natural fermentation. I wish I could have visited the Red Clay tap room- next time, Charlotte! Reviewed on 03 Jan 2021 4 likes

Ginger Gold Hard Cider from Windy Hill Orchard & Cidery We visited the orchard on its last day of the season. Def worth a trip if you are in the area. The ciders were delicious: the ginger gold was a fave. The ginger taste is immediate, followed by a sharp dryness of apple. Bitter in the end and rewarding. Carbonation is pretty strong too.

Cherry Red from City Orchard Dry and tart. Rose gold in color and a lingering fizz on top. Very nice blend of cherry and apple, where both are equally matched Reviewed on 02 Dec 2020 - Got cider at Total Wine & More in Irving 4 likes

Pecan Pie from Bishop Cider Co. The pecan smell and taste are undeniable. But tartness of the apples still come through. I am a fan of semi sweet cider and would say this is on the sweeter side. Golden color and goes down easy. Reviewed on 21 Nov 2020 4 likes
