Jow	3.7 Slyboro Hidden Star Semi-Dry Cider Tap at Draught 55 I always figured I tried this ciders but apparently not until now. Lighter yellow pour. Nose is champagne yeast and tart apple. Tastes of those two items as well as grass, pear, melon. Lively palate semi sweet finish. Not bad Tuesday, April 4, 2017
MicroGrog	3.6 Slyboro Kingston Black Still Cider Bottle from Whole Foods Bowery. Rounded DFH pint glass. Clear mellow gold body. Still. Very still. Smells of macerating apples & green unripened pears, wet leaves, bark & stone. Slightly tart, turning sharper at the back end. Mellow mostly, with a middling of grape skin tannins. A little watery. Slight plastic. Not as serious as a Kinston could be. I still prefer blends anyway. Okay. Wednesday, March 15, 2017
Rapunsell	3 Slyboro Hidden Star Semi-Dry Cider Really nice cider. Not too sweet, nice and crisp with some apple flavor and aroma and a lively effervescence. Sunday, February 7, 2016
michaelinwa	3.4 Slyboro Hidden Star Semi-Dry Cider Bottle. Typical cider pour, aroma is very mild and pretty basic apple. Flavor is semi-dry, with a nice balance of both sweet and tart apples. Has a slight white wine note, and hints of orange. Very balanced, enjoyable, but not very distinctive. Would be a good cider for dinner. Saturday, November 15, 2014
Westchesterco	3.8 Slyboro Hidden Star Semi-Dry Cider Poured from a bottle it is a light yellow with a slight head. The aroma is of apples and the taste is a sweet apple flavor with a bit of a light champagne after taste. Very nice. Monday, October 13, 2014
Iphonephan	3.6 Slyboro Hidden Star Semi-Dry Cider From a 75 cl bottle shared in Avon NC. Pours a clear pale gold with a scant white head. Champagne-like. Flavors of green and Macintosh apples. Lovely carbonation and mouthfeel. Monday, October 13, 2014
fiulijn	4.3 Slyboro Ice Harvest Ice Cider Special Reserve Corked bottle from Delaurenti, Seattle Measured Final Gravity: 1090 Dark shade of blond, hazy; nice legs. This is a fresh fruity version of Ice Cider, with apple juice, Bourbon vanilla, toffee, pineapple; very sweet and syrupy as the gravity confirms, but with a high degree of acidity, a bit lemony. Warming alcohol. Very easy to drink. Amazing drink. Saturday, September 13, 2014
mcberko	4.4 Slyboro Ice Harvest Ice Cider Special Reserve 375mL bottle, pours a clear pale yellow with no head. Aroma of caramelized apples, toffee, and brown sugar - decadent aromatics. Flavour is exquisite, with loads of complex caramelized apples, treacle toffee, alcohol and brown sugar. Wow, this is elegant, complex and a decadent desert treat. Nothing off about this. Phenomenal stuff. Saturday, September 13, 2014
goodbyeohio	3.8 Slyboro Hidden Star Semi-Dry Cider Piss yellow pour with a short-lasting carbonation sits crystal clear in my glass. Bitter, tannic nose with short-shooting spritz recalls champagne in only the classiest way. There is a touch of sweaty aroma, almost cabbagey, that seems interesting as long as it doesn’t translate in to the taste. Drinks very crisp with a savory, musty note that counterbalances the true apple flavor. Yes, it’s a bit brussels-sprout-y, but the slight degree makes it all OK. This is a complex cider with a festive presentation that creates a satisfying experience. Probably something I would enjoy more in the warmer months, but fun and tasty overall. I especially like the tart zip in the finish which doesn’t linger but seems quite pointy. Just one more layer to this fantastic beverage. Tuesday, December 3, 2013
goodbyeohio	4.1 Slyboro Old Sin Original Cider golden pour with a distinct amber tinge. big head which dissipates quickly. unique aroma of candy apples and buttery crisp. first sip is also unique as it carries the cider across the palate with effervescence, yet leaves a really thick, rich flavor lingering. booze filters up through the nostrils, butterscotch notes are present as well as apple brandy and a slight banana-y beer ester. this is really both complex and refreshing at the same time. the small hit of ice cider really elevates this drink. happy to have purchased this, albeit a bit pricey.

j12601	3.7 Slyboro Black Currant Hard Cider Pours a clear pink purple with a diary pink had. Sweet currant and apple on the nose. Big tart acid, currant, tangy berry. Long tart acid apple, dries out a touch then comes back to dusty sugared currants. Saturday, November 2, 2013
blipp	3.6 Slyboro Hidden Star Semi-Dry Cider Bottle. Medium apple sweetness, more so on the nose, with faint tartness and a hint of acidity. Very clean and east drinking, with a relatively crisp and dry finish. At 9% ABV, I could guzzle the hell out of this. Beware. Friday, March 29, 2013
j12601	4 Slyboro Ice Harvest Ice Cider Special Reserve Bottle at Jimmy’s with Max, Andy, Pearl, Shawn, Kylie. Pours a clear treacle hills. Soft fleshy apple, light tart ness . Medium bodied smooth and sweet caramel. A touch sweet, nice acid but could use a bit more. Long sweetness. Lingering sugar and tartness. A touch boozy and estery. Thursday, March 14, 2013
puzzl	3.7 Slyboro Ice Harvest Ice Cider Special Reserve Bottle at Jimmy’s. Hot, rapey taste. Bright aroma, gooseberry, white vinegar. Acid profile is off but it’s better than nothing. Thick body, rich sweet, no more acid. Lots of strawberry, cane sugar. Decent enough. Saturday, March 9, 2013

LadyRainicorn	3.7 Slyboro Hidden Star Semi-Dry Cider 향은 단데 맛이 의외로 떫음/씁함.. 탄한화된 아주 희미한 금색. Monday, December 31, 2012
MicroGrog	3.1 Slyboro Old Sin Original Cider Bottle from the New Amsterdam Green Market. Stiff plastic cup. Filtered, pale ginger gold sort of color. Spritzy, quick hitting white head. Smells of sweet, acidy apples, simple syrup, & citrus. A lingering, round, dense sugary sweetness. Potent mellow apple flavor. Green grapes. Hint of citrus. Good acid, so-so tartness. Syrupy body. Decent carbonation, but a bit too sweet & one-sided, even for this diabetic in training. Monday, December 17, 2012
MicroGrog	3.4 Slyboro Night Pasture Still Cider Bottle from the New Amsterdam Market. Stiff plastic cup. Slightly caramelized, clear amber-ish brown color. Still. Smells acidic. Macerated apple peels. Woodsy & damp. Interesting. Tannic, browned, bitter apples. Iron-y. A mellow, aged flavor, though subdued & watery overall. Intentionally still, with a bit of heft to it. Tolerant alcohol. Very wet texture, if that makes any sense. A still cider that works for me. These are usually a toss up. :) Monday, December 17, 2012
Maverick34	3.8 Slyboro Hidden Star Semi-Dry Cider Bottled. Pale golden translucent pour. Apples obviously smell. Dry acidic finish. A very elegant cider Thursday, November 22, 2012
MicroGrog	4.3 Slyboro Ice Harvest Ice Cider Special Reserve Repeated pours @ the New Amsterdam Farmer’s Market. Clear, gooey, pale orange pour. Nose is zesty lemon honey tea & fresh cider juice. Taste is a bright, tangy, spicy, spirited, Applejack infused cocktail. Upfront tartness with better then decent acid. Nice & tangy. Lingering honey & bitter orange zest. Almost like a more fruit centric version of sweet & sour sauce. Syrupy body. Hot alcohol, but incredibly tangy & spicy. Not as refined, but definitely more fun then several Canadian examples I’ve had. Monday, October 22, 2012
MicroGrog	3.8 Slyboro Hidden Star Semi-Dry Cider Half a gallon gurgled while slurping down complimentary oysters at the Times Center cider week event. :D Re-rated from a bottle purchased @ the New Amsterdam Farmer’s Market. Clear, pale golden straw color. Lots of fizz. Pineapple juice sort of aroma creeps through before it airs out. Especially so if you stick your nose in the neck of the bottle. Browned apples, pear-like perfume, & champagne. Taste is bittersweet. Sweet table wine, acidy apple, bitter cores, wood. Lingering bit of green grape sugary-ness. Mellow tartness. Slick texture with a strong carbonation that really sells it. Nice local stuff, even if they have a bit of a sweet tooth. Monday, October 22, 2012
Cletus	4.5 Slyboro Old Sin Original Cider Bottle purchased at the Saratoga Springs farmer’s market. Pours yellow with a white, quickly dissipating head. Smells of pronounced semi sweet apples, touches of honey. Tastes of sweet apple, some underlying tartness, crisp with a good balance of carbonation. Full bodied. Excellent! Thursday, August 2, 2012
auerbrau	3.6 Slyboro Ice Harvest Ice Cider Special Reserve Bottle poured at CiderDays 2011 - Ice Cider Tasting. Spice apple and tropical aroma. A bit thin and hot, almost barrel-like. Texture-wise, this is very dry for an ice cider, which gives a sensation of heat and lack of body, but this austerity is enjoyable in it’s own way, more like a spirit than a syrupy dessert wine. Flavor evaporate a little more on the palate, so the aroma becomes a focus. Spicy. Monday, November 7, 2011

auerbrau	3.4 Slyboro Hidden Star Semi-Dry Cider 750mL Bottle poured at CiderDays 2010. Subtle, lightly sulfury aroma. Pale golden. Sweet, floral, but a bit warm. Effusive and strong carbonation really carries the flavors and the textures. Nice acidity and cleansing, but low on the overall complexity. Cuts fatty, younger cheeses well. Monday, November 8, 2010
auerbrau	3.6 Slyboro Ice Harvest Ice Cider 375mL bottle poured at CiderDays 2010. Big mineraly and honey arom, with some cooked apples and spices. Warmth and booze are immediately noticeable with relatively lower residual sugar. Moves into sweet cider tartness and forward acidity that is enjoyable. Nice legs. Sugar and acid fight a little bit (maybe needs a touch more sugar?), but this is an above average example, I think. Monday, November 8, 2010
