Gold Rush from Red Apple Bombshell Very surprising. Very tart but sweet, with strong brown sugar and maple flavors by way of bourbon. My wife hates whiskey but really likes this. It’s like a whiskey sour meets Arnold Palmer. Reviewed on 01 Nov 2022 3 likes

El Chavo Mango and Habanero from Blake's Hard Cider Co. Boy that's a weird one. You can't quite figure out what's going on until everything burns a little at the end. Reviewed on 11 Feb 2017 3 likes

Chai from Ommegang Brewery A word of warning, my wife with celiac disease got sick after drinking this, so be cautious if you’re gluten free. Reviewed on 19 Sep 2021 2 likes

NY Kiwi from Nine Pin Ciderworks Flavored with pawpaw, a forgotten American fruit referred to as a New York kiwi. Slightly banana in aroma and interesting in taste. Reviewed on 04 Sep 2019 - Got cider at Nine Pin Cider Works in Albany 2 likes

Apple Pomer from Red Apple Bombshell Half cider, half iced tea with lemon. Best pun in the game. Reviewed on 22 Jul 2018 2 likes

Viking Sahti from Awestruck Ciders This might be one of the most interesting and confusing cider experiences we’ve ever had. This traditionally made cider is said to taste of bananas and flavored with juniper and spruce. To me, it tastes strongly of the candy Smarties in a weird way. To my girlfriend it smells exactly like Pinesol. With no access to an independent third party at the moment, we’re leaving this review and hoping for someone else to get a bottle and end our debate.

Blue Crew Blue from Nine Pin Ciderworks Interesting cider sweetened, barely, with milk sugar lending it a unique, semi-creamy mouthfeel. Drier than we were expecting and tart from the blueberry, but overall tasty. Reviewed on 15 Apr 2018 2 likes

Mandarin Matcha from Nine Pin Ciderworks A collaboration cider with tart NY apples, matcha tea, mandarin and shiso. Very dry start that builds to a delicious citrus and tea finish. One of the best Nine Pin has done. Reviewed on 06 Apr 2017 - Got cider at The City Beer Hall in Albany 2 likes

Macchu Pikachu from Indian Ladder Farms "Aged in rum barrels at a PokeStop." Clearly a product of those crazy few months when people cared about Pokémon Go. Decently drinkable and not overpoweringly rum-heavy like some. Reviewed on 21 Jan 2017 2 likes

Maple Waffle from Downeast Still a bit of tartness to balance out the sweet. Good maple flavor that isn’t cloying. Reviewed on 25 Dec 2023 1 like
