Cider

Strongbow Hard Cider

Very smooth, and tastes more like an unfermented cider. This is no surprise — the ingredients list juice from concentrate and HFCS. Sadly, it affects my blood sugar just like apple juice spiked with HFCS.

Wyder’s Pear Cider

At 4% AC, this cider doesn’t pack much punch. In the end, it reminded us both of a similar punchless drink, the wine cooler. Granted, a good wine cooler, but still a wine cooler.

Hard Ciders

Another tag, to track hard ciders.

Cherry Bomb, from Julian Hard Cider, is nicely sweet and well-balanced. Definitely a winner.

Strawman, from Angry Orchard, is nowhere near as good. It might be an adequate cider, had I not already had Cherry Bomb.
