3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a deep ruby/mahogany with a slight fizz, but no head whatsoever. Apple aroma with light vinegar notes. Flavor is crisp apple tartness with a kiss of cherry and a drop of honey. No "wooden" notes... the only evidence of barrel-aging is in its smoothness - it holds light astringence, but its sourness isn’t upsetting.

Why is this brew rated so low it great stuff.Nice amber color,nearly no head,strong apple aroma.Sweet/sour apple taste that is quite pleasant but i fear will lead to some hard core after effects as many of my fellow raters have posted.Over all i don't think this brew is rated very well i think it deserves a higher place.Hard to say what is the best cider since i'm not an aficciando(spelling problem) but i know what i like and this is a pretty decent cider and worth a decent rate.

as ciders go this is definitly one of the more palatable ones.
Not too sweet for once!

Yikes! This stuff ranks right up there with Mad Dog 20/20. Just like drink cheap apple wine. Whew, I cannot describe the head ache pain I had the next morning after drinking this one night. Stay away from the Hard Core.

UPDATED: JAN 11, 2004 Re-rate 6/4/02: No, I wasn't foolish enough to drink this again, but I was reading through my ratings when I saw this and cringed. I was dismayed to see that I gave this a 0.8. This is on a short list of things that I will never drink again, unless I'm stuck on a desert island for life or in Hell. First rating: Holy shit! I'll be lucky if I'm alive in the morning, never-mind finishing this. Sweet and sour in a really bad way. No head. The dark color is the ONLY thing going for this.
