Ocle Pychard from ANXO This is a collaboration with Oliver’s Cider and Perry from England. It pours a nice amber. It’s dry and the tannin is prominent. Not much tartness but heavier on the bitterness, but not overwhelming. When I’m in the mood for a cider with tannin and bitterness, this is a good standout. Reviewed on 20 Mar 2018 6 likes

Hatch from Wild Hare Hard Cider Pours a pale yellow. It has an interesting aroma. It reminds me of apple juice that has been stored in a tin can for a few years. It has a tin aroma to it, but it’s interesting. This is a dry cider with tartness and sourness. Overall I like this one. Reviewed on 11 Apr 2018 4 likes

Cidre Blanc from ANXO Made from Goldrush apples and Sauvignon Blanc yeast. It pours a slight hazy pale yellow. The nose is vibrant with fruit and slightly earthy. The taste is bright, acidic, with some astringency. It’s dry and complex. This is one I would seek out and stock. Reviewed on 15 Mar 2018 4 likes

Gold Rush from Texas Keeper Cider Quite tart and citrusy. I personally enjoy a dry and tart cider so I like this one. Many citrus notes. Pale in color, and light to medium body. Reviewed on 29 Jan 2018 4 likes

Zombie Killer from B. Nektar I enjoyed the overall balance of this cider. Not overly sweet, and a great balance of tartness. Reviewed on 28 Jan 2018 4 likes

Golden Rule from Ethic Ciders A bright cider. It reminds me of their gravitude, but this one has a bit more complexity to it. Reviewed on 19 Sep 2018 3 likes

Wild Washington Apple from Tieton Cider Works This has a nutty aroma. The taste is reminiscent of faba beans. I can drink this, but I wouldn’t seek it out again. Reviewed on 05 Aug 2018 - Got cider at Great Society Cider & Mead in Long Beach 3 likes

Smith & Forge Hard Cider from Uncharted Hard Cider Co. (Smith & Forge) Sweet, smells like fake apples and syrup. I rate this with the run of the mill high production ciders. Not good, but I’ll drink it if it’s all I have. Reviewed on 17 Jun 2018 3 likes
