Marissimo | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
19.0% | Very Sweet | Marionberry | WOW! This is amazing! Obviously this is not your standard cider, this is more of a dessert than anything. We had it chilled in the fridge. It is absolutely packed with blackberry flavor. You can barely taste any alcohol which is crazy given that it is 19%. |

|
5.5% | Sweet | Blackberry Lime | Deliciously tart |

Berry Limely | Blue Mountain |

5.5% | Sweet | Blackberry Lime | Blackberry and lime is a killer combo! Tasted at Seattle Cider Summit 2018. |
Lavender Bergamot | Channel Marker |
|
6.5% | Medium | Lavender Bergamot | Very unique cider. Very heavy on the lavender which just a hint of that bergamot flavor that Earl Grey is known for. |
Grand Mimosa | Ciderboys |

5.0% | Sweet | Orange Seasonal | Tastes just like a mimosa! |

5.0% | Very Sweet | Raspberry | Best raspberry cider ever |

|
5.0% | Very Sweet | Strawberry | Like drinking juiced strawberries |
Devil 'N Cider | Cockrell |
|
6.8% | Semi-sweet | Raspberry Habanero Pepper | This is one of my favorites. It's similar to Finnriver Habanero but with a subtle raspberry flavor. Really good! |
Apple Cinnamon | Core Hero |
|
6.5% | Sweet | Cinnamon | Not much cinnamon flavor, tart, very good standard cider! |
Apple Cranberry | Core Hero |
|
6.5% | Sweet | Cranberry | Sour and tart |
Aronia Blueberry Cider | Eaglemount |
|
8.0% | Semi-sweet | Aronia Berry Blueberry | Berry flavor but not really blueberry. Has a lot of earthiness. |
Brambleberry Burn | Eaglemount |
|
8.0% | Semi-sweet | Brambleberry Jalapeno | Fruity taste with a bit of spice and burn from the jalapenos |
Rhubarb Cider | Eaglemount |
|
8.0% | Sweet | Rhubarb | Surprisingly fruity and tart |
Lithium | Elemental |
|
6.5% | Sweet | Lemoncello | Very tart, mostly lime flavor |
Neon "Margarita" | Elemental |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | Cilantro Lime Jalapeno Pepper Seasonal | One of the most unique ciders ever. On draft, there was more jalapeno flavor. In the bottle, there was more lime. This was definitely better on draft. |
Plutonium | Elemental |
|
6.0% | Sweet | Huckleberry | Not too sweet, not too tart, perfect berry flavor |
Strawberry Lemonade | Elemental |
|
6.0% | Very Sweet | Strawberry Lemon | Tastes just like the name suggests... Like strawberry lemonade! Has a bit of tang and apple flavor in there too. |
Black Currant | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Sweet | Black Currant | Citrusy flavor with a hoppy finish |
Black Currant Brandywine | Finnriver |
|
19.5% | Very Sweet | Black Currant Wine | This is by far one of Finnriver's best brandywines and best ciders. I haven't tried it on top of ice cream yet, but I really need to because I think it would be killer. |
Black Current | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Sweet | Black Currant | This is just a re-labeled Black Currant cider |
Cranberry Rosehip | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Medium | Cranberry Rose Hip Seasonal | Incredibly tart, not too sweet, yeasty aftertaste. |
Dry Hopped | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Dry | Hops | |
Fresh Hopped | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Medium | Hops | |
Golden Russet | Finnriver |
|
8.0% | Sweet | ||
Habanero | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Semi-dry | Habanero | Lots of habanero flavor, hotter than Seattle Cider Three Pepper, heat builds up nicely over time |
Lavender Black Currant | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | Lavender Black Currant | Was very skeptical at first because of the lavender, but the black currant is actually complemented very well by the lavender. Very tart. |
Love & Blossoms | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | This cider tastes like PIZZA!!! I don’t know how else to describe it. It has nasturtium blossoms and nigella seeds (whatever those are...) but it smells and tastes like a cheese pizza with that spice/herb blend that some places use (oregano, maybe some thyme?). This is really unique and actually quite good. | |
Pear Brandywine | Finnriver |
|
18.5% | Very Sweet | Pear Wine | Mostly discernable from the other Finnriver brandywines. Extremely sweet, dessert like. You could probably chill and pour over ice cream. |
Purple Stave | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Medium | Oak Lavender | Huge lavender flavor |
Rain Shadow Fire | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | This is my new favorite cider. In order of flavor prominence: habanero, basil, then rhubarb. All 3 of these are some of my favorite cider flavors and together they taste great. The bottle mentions this being a good winter warmer, but with it still being sweet and fruity I think it can be great throughout the year. | |
Raspberry Wine | Finnriver |
|
18.5% | Very Sweet | Raspberry Wine | Finnriver has done something absolutely incredible with their line of apple wines. This one in particular punches you in the face with sweet and slightly tart raspberry flavor, and remains smooth and and surprisingly light for being 18.5% ABV. I've never tried it on ice cream, but I bet it would be amazing as a topping. |
Sojourn - Vista Ridge | Finnriver |
|
9.0% | Very Dry | One of the most dry ciders I have had in the last few years at least. | |
Pomegranate Cider | Goose Ridge |
|
6.0% | Semi-sweet | Pomegranate | Fruit forward, perfect mix of apple and pomegranate flavors, not too sweet, refreshing... this is a great cider! |
Fire-Roasted Pepper | Greenwood Cider Co |
|
7.5% | Semi-sweet | Pepper | This cider really lives up to its name. Fire-roasted pepper is the perfect description of the flavor, mixed with sweet apple cider. Not quite as spicy as Finnriver Habanero, but it does have a little spice. |
Ghost of Christmas Cran | Hi-Wheel |
|
6.8% | Semi-dry | Cranberry Orange Grapefruit Lemon Cinnamon Cardamom Ghost Pepper Seasonal | Cranberry and earthy up front, finishes with some nice heat. Tasted at Cider Bite in Portland. |
Appleanch | Hood View Ciderworks |
|
6.8% | Sweet | Wow, this is so good! I think it is a bit sweeter than the can suggests, but it is not too sweet. Reminds me a lot of Angry Orchard Iceman cider. | |
Passion Guava | Incline Cider Company |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | Passionfruit Guava Hops | The blend of hops (which I think are in almost all of Incline's ciders) is perfect with the fruity passionfruit and guava. This is a real mouth pleaser. |
Black and Blue | Julian Hard Cider |
|
7.0% | Sweet | Blackberry Blueberry | Very tart, almost like blue raspberry candy! |
Passionfruit | Kopparberg |
|
4.0% | Sweet | Passionfruit | Very, very similar to the Rekorderlig Passionfruit. Light and refreshing. Perfect for summer days. |
Strawberry & Lime | Kopparberg |
|
4.0% | Semi-sweet | Strawberry Lime | Sweet taste with dryer after taste. Big strawberry flavor, not much lime flavor. |
Rosemary Plum | Locust Cider |
|
6.0% | Medium | Rosemary Plum | So delicious! Not much (if any) plum flavor, mostly rosemary flavor! One of my top 5 all time favorites. |
Strawberry | Maeloc Ciders |
|
4.0% | Sweet | Strawberry | MASSIVE strawberry flavor. Crisp and tart. Probably the best strawberry cider I have tried. Tasted at Seattle Cider Summit 2018. |
After Dark | Misfit Island Cider Company |
|
6.9% | Semi-dry | Blackberry Blueberry | Tastes like drinking freshly squeeze blackberry and blueberry, kind of dry, a bit tart, and just a bit of sourness at the bottom of the bottle. |
Kiwi & Lime | Old Mout Cider |
|
4.0% | Sweet | Kiwi Lime | Really refreshing and fruity, kiwi flavor is most prominent |
Caramel Cinnamon | One Tree |
|
6.8% | Very Sweet | Caramel Cinnamon | Best cider ever for dessert. Can't drink more than one because of how sweet it is. |
Mimosa | One Tree |
|
6.8% | Sweet | Tangerine | It's a mimosa, what else is there to say? |
Mojito | One Tree |
|
5.2% | Semi-sweet | Lime Mint Jalapeno | Surprisingly does not taste similar to other One Tree ciders, which have a distinct sweetness to them usually. This one is straight up mojito, with some jalapeno thrown in. The jalapeno seems quite noticeable, so beware if that isn't your thing. It isn't spicy though. |
Snowglobe | One Tree |
|
6.8% | Sweet | Seasonal Glitter | This is Christmas in a bottle. No where on the bottle does it say what the flavor really is, but it is a spiced cranberry. This is really similar to Goose Ridge's Spiced Cranberry. Did I mention the glitter? Yea, glitter. |
Orpens Cider | Orpens |
|
5.3% | Semi-dry | Simply an incredible tasting plain old cider, perfectly balanced | |
Bloody Hell | Portland Cider Company |
|
5.6% | Semi-sweet | Orange Habanero | Super light orange flavor and then the habanero kicks in after, not too spicy just a little taste |
Mango Mimosa | Portland Cider Company |
|
6.0% | Sweet | Mango Tangerine | I find mango ciders to usually be very sweet, but the tangerine in this one really cuts through that sweetness and balances out the mango very well. Highly drinkable, perfect for summer. |
PDX Community Cider | Portland Cider Company |
|
5.1% | Semi-sweet | Seasonal Pear Plum Cherry Berry | This is a really great mix of fruit flavors. Nicely balanced, a little tart. |
Passionfruit Hard Cider | Rekorderlig |
|
4.5% | Very Sweet | Passionfruit | Huge passionfruit flavor and super bubbly. This cider is so refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day. |
Strawberry-Lime Hard Cider | Rekorderlig |
|
4.5% | Sweet | Strawberry Lime | A sweet, tart, strawberry and lime cider |
Excelsior | Schilling |
|
8.5% | Sweet | This cider is REALLY good. Probably my favorite Schilling cider. It is tart and sour. Huge apple flavor. | |
Local Legend | Schilling |
|
5.2% | Sweet | This is a fairly sweet cider. Pretty basic, no tricks, but packs a lot of flavor. It was really good with some steamed dumplings. | |
Moon Berries | Schilling |
|
5.2% | Semi-sweet | Blueberry Blackberry Lavender | Doesn't have the usual metallic taste from other Schilling ciders. The mix of berries and subtle lavender is quite good! |
Earl Grey | Seattle Cider |
|
6.9% | Semi-sweet | Earl Grey | Wasn’t sure how earl grey would blend with cider. Turns out it is a perfect match! |
Honey Crisp | Seattle Cider |
|
5.5% | Semi-sweet | Better than the Dry or Semi-Sweet from Seattle Cider. This one sits somewhere between dry and sweet, with a little bit of tartness, and none of the slight bitterness that those other two have. | |
Light Cider | Seattle Cider |
|
4.2% | Medium | I went into this one not wanting to like it just because it is a "light" cider, but it surprised me. Full of flavor like their Semi-sweet cider, but not quite as metallic tasting. | |
Three Pepper | Seattle Cider |
|
6.9% | Sweet | Poblano Habanero Jalapeno Pepper Limited | Good mix of pepper and apple flavor. Not too spicy, and not quite as spicy has the Finnriver Habanero. |
Winesap Rosé | Seattle Cider |
|
6.0% | Dry | Rosé | Pink in color, this cider is dry and tart with only a subtle hint of the usual flowery taste from rosé ciders. Probably the best rosé I've had. |
Orchard Select | Snowdrift |
|
7.4% | Dry | Delicious standard cider on the drier side | |
Summer Red | Snowdrift |
|
7.6% | Semi-dry | ||
Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch Cherry Bomb | Soundbite Hard Cider |
|
6.7% | Medium | Cherry Chile | Unique and really good chile flavor and heat without being too spicy, cherry is subtle |
POG Save the Queen | Soundbite Hard Cider |
|
5.8% | Semi-dry | Passionfruit Orange Guava | Incredible |
Holy Hell | Steelhead Cider |
|
6.5% | Medium | Hops Habanero | Hops and habanero mesh perfectly together. This is a spicy cider! Tasted at Seattle Cider Summit 2018. |
Blueberry | Swift |
|
6.1% | Dry | Blueberry Seasonal | For a blueberry cider, this one is quite dry. Very refreshing. |
Cranberry | Tieton Cider Works |
|
6.9% | Sweet | Cranberry | |
Blackberry | Washington Gold Cider |
|
5.5% | Sweet | Blackberry | Not too sweet, just the right amount of tartness, huge blackberry flavor. This one is really good! |
Wild Grape | Washington Gold Cider |
|
5.5% | Semi-sweet | Grape | This is TART! This is like grape sour candy! |
Bitterroot Valley McIntosh | Whitewood Cider Co. |
|
6.9% | Semi-dry | ||
Gravenstein | Whitewood Cider Co. |
|
5.5% | Medium | Absolutely delicious, pure apple flavor. This tastes more like "apple" than most ciders, almost like you just bit into a fresh one. | |
Lil’ Rosybloom | Whitewood Cider Co. |
|
10.7% | Semi-sweet | Tart and crisp. Exceptional flavor. | |
Newton Pippin | Whitewood Cider Co. |
|
6.9% | Medium | Not sweet, not dry, a perfect balance with great flavor! | |
Olivia | Whitewood Cider Co. |
|
6.8% | Medium | Not too sweet, not too dry, a little more bubbly than some ciders, nearly perfect! Oh, and the pun is fantastic! | |
Passion Mango | Winsome Ciderworks |
|
6.1% | Sweet | Passionfruit Mango Seasonal | Refreshing blend of passionfruit and mango, sweet with a bit of tartness, perfect for those warm summer days. |
Cashmere | Yonder |
|
6.5% | Semi-dry | Cranberry Cherry Orange | Great mix of flavors, very tart and fruity but not overpowering |
Palisades | Yonder |
|
6.5% | Semi-dry | Blackberry Sage | Rally great flavor, not too fruity like blackberry ciders can be sometimes, the sage brings a nice earthiness and balance to it. |
Sunnyslope | Yonder |
|
6.9% | Dry | Grapefruit Lemon Verbena | This cider is hard to describe. I don't think it tastes much like grapefruit, but it does taste like a verbena flower. It's on the dry side for sure. Very unique. Really good! |
Vantage | Yonder |
|
6.5% | Medium | Really, really good standard cider. I feel like it would go well with an umami dish for some reason. | |
Troppy Poppy | d's Wicked Cider |
|
6.9% | Sweet | Passionfruit Banana Mango Pineapple Orange | |
Soft Core | 10 Barrel Brewing Company |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | The name of this cider is really appropriate. It is a really easy to drink, not too sweet, not too dry cider. It is perfectly in the middle of the road and not ashamed of it. It's actually quite good because of that. | |
Black Dog | 101 Cider House |
|
6.9% | Dry | Charcoal Blood Orange Lavender | Super crazy, weird and unique. This probiotic cider is sour, and blends a bunch of flavors. It was supposed to be a black color, but we didn't know we were supposed to shake the bottle until we had already poured it. If you haven't tried a sour cider before, approach with caution. |
Apricot Cosmic Crisp | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
9.0% | Semi-sweet | Apricot Seasonal | Tastes just like an apricot version of their cosmic crisp line of ciders. A bit bitter, a bit sweet. You notice the high alcohol content in the taste, otherwise it would be better. |
Blueberry Cosmic Crisp | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
8.0% | Sweet | Blueberry | Doesn't scream blueberry to me but rather just generic berry flavor |
Cherry Sublime | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | Cherry Lime | Really nice mix of sweet cherry, and lime that cuts the sweetness |
Cosmic Crisp | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
8.0% | Semi-sweet | One of the best regular ciders I've had in a long time. Not too sweet, not too dry, good amount of alcohol content. It's just slightly lacking something to give it that boost to 5 stars and I can't quite put my finger on it. You can't go wrong with this one. | |
Cot in the Act | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
6.2% | Sweet | Apricot Unfiltered Seasonal | |
Made Marion | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
6.0% | Sweet | Marionberry Blackberry | |
Man Gogh | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
8.0% | Sweet | Mango Habanero Pepper | Mostly mango flavor with a little bit of heat. Not as good as some other ciders with heat. |
Passion Statement | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
5.2% | Very Sweet | Passionfruit | Passionfruit flavor is spot on. Super tart, punches you right in the cheek! |
Plum As You Are | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
8.0% | Semi-sweet | Plum Allspice | Tart, not a lot of non-apple flavor, not even sure I could taste the allspice |
Pommeau | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
19.0% | Sweet | Wine | Sweet with caramel tones. Tasted at Seattle Cider Summit 2018. |
Riverwood | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
6.3% | Sweet | ||
Serious Scrump | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
11.0% | Seasonal | ||
Strawberry Haze | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
5.5% | Sweet | Strawberry Rhubarb Seasonal | Lot's of strawberry flavor with a little bit of tartness from the rhubarb. Don't worry if you don't like rhubarb, you won't taste it very much. A light drink perfect for spring and summer. |
The Bad Apple | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
10.5% | Semi-dry | ||
The Baddie | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
8.0% | Medium | Hibiscus Rose Jasmine Chamomile Limited | I don't taste any of the flavors listed on this cider except for the pink apples, but that doesn't matter because it is delicious. |
Tropical Cosmic Crisp | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
8.0% | Sweet | Passionfruit Hibiscus | Big flavor, can definitely taste the passionfruit, but also there is some slightly funky flavor too. |
Rosé | Ace |
|
5.0% | Semi-sweet | Raspberry Blackberry Strawberry | Significantly more berry flavor than most rosé ciders. Strawberry is the dominant flavor, backed up by raspberry and blackberry. |
Space | Ace |
|
6.9% | Semi-sweet | Orange Unfiltered | Good orange flavor. One of the cloudiest ciders I've ever had though. |
Cinders | Méthode Champenoise | Alpenfire |
|
8.9% | Very Dry | Rosé | Dry and bubbly, this cider is much better than some other rosé ciders. |
Dungeness | Alpenfire |
|
6.8% | Unfiltered | ||
Glow | Aerlie Red | Alpenfire |
|
8.2% | Semi-dry | Doesn't really taste like a rosé, just tastes like a dry cider. | |
Kings of Kingston | Alpenfire |
|
7.3% | Very Dry | I feel like very dry ciders usually lack a little bit in the flavor department, but this cider is dry and has lots of flavor. | |
The Brute | Alter Ego |
|
6.9% | Semi-dry | This cider made me think "dry, but sweet". It had great apple flavor and was surprisingly sweet and dry at the same time. Tasted at the Seattle Cider Summit 2018. | |
Hop'n Mad Apple | Angry Orchard |
|
5.0% | Hops | ||
Pear | Angry Orchard |
|
5.0% | Semi-dry | Pear | A little tartness mixed with a dryer Angry Orchard makes this better than Crisp Apple in my book. Pear flavor is not overpowering. |
Strawberry | Angry Orchard |
|
5.0% | Sweet | Strawberry | Top notch cider from Angry Orchard. Reminiscent of some other strawberry ciders from other companies. Definitely sweet and fruity, but not TOO sweet. |
Strawman | Angry Orchard |
|
10.0% | Semi-sweet | Close to Angry Orchard Iceman, but with a slightly different flavor. | |
The Muse | Angry Orchard |
|
7.7% | Sweet | Similar to Angry Orchard Iceman but less alcohol and sweeter | |
Tropical | Angry Orchard |
|
5.0% | Sweet | Pineapple Passionfruit | Less pineapple than passion fruit I think. Fairly sweet, but not too sweet. Definitely like a standard Angry Orchard, but with a tropical twist. |
Understood in Motion 2 | Angry Orchard |
|
7.2% | Dry | Dry with good apple flavor! Tasted at Seattle Cider Summit 2018. | |
Walden Hollow | Angry Orchard |
|
8.0% | Medium | Mix of Angry Orchard Iceman and Finnriver Sidra, tangy | |
Anthem Hops | Anthem |
|
5.5% | Semi-dry | Hops | |

Acai Lemonade | Avid Cider Co. |
|
6.2% | Dry | Lemon Acai Blueberry | This cider really lives up to its name! The best part is that it is not sweet at all, but still maintains that fruity flavor. |
Golden Delish | Avid Cider Co. |
|
8.5% | Semi-sweet | Huge apple flavor. Not used to so much apple flavor with so many flavored ciders lately. | |
Jungle Juice | Avid Cider Co. |
|
6.2% | Very Sweet | Pineapple Tangerine Plum Passionfruit | Holy cow, this is SO fruity that it is overpowering. It's a bit tart too, and pretty sweet. Not something I could drink a lot of, but one was good. |
Pineapple Mango Cider | Avid Cider Co. |
|
6.0% | Very Sweet | Pineapple Mango Seasonal | |
Pom Cherry Cider | Avid Cider Co. |
|
5.8% | Sweet | Pomegranate Cherry | |
Watermelon Burn | Avid Cider Co. |
|
6.0% | Medium | Watermelon Jalapeno Limited | Nice blend of subtle spice from the jalapeno and fruity watermelon flavor. I'd say the jalapeno is a bit more noticeable here. |
Black Currant | Bad Granny |
|
6.9% | Sweet | Black Currant | Very tart with just a hint of funkiness |
Tropical Lite | Bad Granny |
|
4.0% | Medium | Passionfruit Orange Guava | As them name suggests, it is a lighter cider that is also tropical. Very drinkable. |
Guava Grapefruit | Bauman's Cider |
|
6.2% | Sweet | Guava Grapefruit | Slightly more guava flavor than grapefruit |
Loganberry | Bauman's Cider |

Peach Raspberry | Bauman's Cider |

Blue Hewe | Finnriver |
|
8.4% | Semi-dry | Blueberry | Much dryer than expected for a blueberry cider |
Cacao | Finnriver |
|
18.5% | Very Sweet | Wine Pear Cacao Chocolate | How can a mix of pear, apple and chocolate be good? It tastes much better than the initial smell, so don't let that fool you. The chocolate is balanced well and not overpowering. |
Chimacum Kreik | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Dry | Limited Cherry | A dry almost red wine like cider. The cherry is subtle. I think it would pair well with steak. The only thing stopping me from a 5 star rating is the slight funk. |

Mocha Porters | Finnriver |
|
6.8% | Dry | This cider is wild and unique. You might see mocha and cacao and think this cider will taste like chocolate, but it really doesn't. It's very smokey. A bit of fruit flavor at first, but then you're hit with with flavors of smoke and wood. Seems like something that would go well with smoked ribs or brisket. | |

Spirited Pear Wine | Finnriver |
|
18.5% | Sweet | Wine Pear | A bit more like wine than cider, this is still delicious to cider lovers. There is not a huge amount of pear flavor. It leaves you with a wonderful warmth after drinking it. |

Strawberry | Incline Cider Company |

|
6.5% | Medium | Hops Marionberry | |

|
6.9% | Semi-dry | Good standard cider. Pretty similar to Seattle Cider Semi-dry. | |
Hazy Strawberry | Tieton Cider Works |
|
6.9% | Semi-sweet | Strawberry Unfiltered Limited | Some strawberry ciders are tart or almost overpowering in their strawberry flavor, but not this one. It's pretty light, and tastes similar to other Tieton ciders if you've had them. There is a slight funk in the aftertaste. |
Huckleberry | Tieton Cider Works |
|
6.9% | Sweet | Huckleberry | This is one of the most sour/tart ciders I've had. Not in a gross sour beer tastes likes it has gone bad kind of way, but in a sour candy kind of way. Like a warhead, but not that extreme. |

|
6.9% | Very Sweet | Lavender Honey Limited | More lavender than honey |
Porter's Perfection | Tieton Cider Works |

Winesap | Tieton Cider Works |
|
6.9% | Dry | This seems like a really complex cider. Some sips had an interesting smoky flavor. Some sips tasted very earthy. It's definitely on the dryer side. A little bitter at times, but still full of flavor. It's pretty unique. | |
Prickly Passion | Tumalo Cider Co |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | Prickly Pear Passionfruit | I'm generally not a fan of pear or prickly pear, but the blend of passion fruit in this cider makes it pretty good. |

4.0% | Medium | Cherry | Very light, refreshing and slightly tart. Not much cherry flavor other than the tartness. |
Citra | Ulee's Light Cider |

Gibbs Farm | Whitewood Cider Co. |
|
7.5% | Dry | Barrel Aged | Not as good as some of the other Whitewood ciders, but still really good. One of the best barrel aged ciders because the oak flavor is subtle and not overpowering. |

Raspberry Cosmic Crisp | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
8.0% | Medium | Raspberry Cranberry | Oddly not very sweet and kind of bitter. Kind of surprised by this. Maybe I got a bad batch? |
Spice Spice Baby | 2 Towns Ciderhouse |
|
6.9% | Semi-sweet | Honey Spiced | This was okay. It tasted pretty similar to another 2 Towns cider, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Maybe The Bad Apple? |

5.0% | Sweet | Pineapple | Tons of pineapple flavor. |
3 Pommes | Alpenfire |
|
6.9% | Dry | Pear Quince | I unfortunately left this bottle in our fridge for a very long time and I think it must have lost all of its carbonation. The flavor was pretty good, but it was totally still. Carbonation would have made it much better. |

Spark | Heirloom Blend | Alpenfire |
|
8.9% | Unfiltered | ||
Guardian Angel | Alter Ego |
|
6.5% | Sweet | Blueberry Pomegranate | Tastes like grape juice, or a tootsie pop when you get a little bit of the tootsie roll at the end (these are good things). |
Apple Ginger Mule | Angry Orchard |
|
10.0% | Semi-sweet | Ginger | The first sip was WEIRD! Like, standard Angry Orchard flavor, with ginger, but kind of bitter. But after the first few sips it got better, kind of like a mule mixed with cider (as advertised). |
Blueberry Rosé | Angry Orchard |
|
6.0% | Medium | Blueberry Rosé | I don't like blueberry OR rose ciders, but the combination of those flavors is surprisingly good. Still not my favorite, but not as bad as I thought it must be. Tastes a little bit like bubblegum. |
Cinnful Apple | Angry Orchard |
|
5.0% | Seasonal Cinnamon | Good for Christmas time. Alternatively, you can make something similar to this by mixing Angry Orchard Crisp Apple with Fireball. | |

Cider Blend 319 | Archibald James |
|
6.1% | Semi-dry | Something about the flavor is just kind of unremarkable. It isn't bad, but it isn't amazing. Middle of the road cider. | |

Imperial Pineapple | Bellingham Cider Co |
|
8.5% | Medium | Pineapple | This cider punches you in the face with it's high alcohol content, imperial style, and tartness from the pineapple. Not too sweet though, which is good. |

6.0% | Semi-sweet | Orange Vanilla | Mostly orange flavor with a hint of vanilla, fairly tart but also sweet |
Phosphorus | Elemental |
|
6.5% | Sweet | Pumpkin | Slight pumpkin spice flavor |
Platinum | Elemental |

6.5% | Sweet | Peach | Not a lot of peach flavor, but not a little either, it's okay. One of the best peach ciders I have tried (from someone who doesn't like peach). |

|
8.4% | Dry | Black Currant Oak | More oak flavor than black currant, but not overpowering Edit: 2nd bottle had an extreme yeast flavor that dropped my rating from 4 to 3 |
Chai Spice | Finnriver |
|
18.5% | Very Sweet | Chai Spiced | Not my favorite of the Finnriver apple brandies. VERY spiced. |
Crew Cider Selection - Bittersweet Barrel | Finnriver |
|
7.3% | Very Dry | Never have I had a cider whose name was so self-describing before. This tastes barrel aged, and bitter | |
Crew Cider Selection - Root Cause | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | Birch Water Wintergreen Dandelion Root Burdock Licorice Star Anise | Very unique cider. Can definitely see how it is trying to be like a root beer. It's super earthy and has a bit of spice to it. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. |
Field of Hay | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Semi-dry | Earthy, but not as earthy as some of the other pollinator series ciders, which makes it a bit better | |
Honey Meadow | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | Honey Dandelion Burdock Chamomile Seasonal | Not too sweet despite the honey flavor. Flowery, but not overpoweringly so. |
Pear | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Sweet | Pear | Decent for a pear cider |
Perry | Finnriver |
|
7.0% | Dry | Pear Unfiltered | Was great at first but the bottom of the bottle was VERY murky. |

12.5% | Dry | Definitely closer to a dry white wine than a cider | |
Summit Saison | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | Unfiltered | Yeast flavor |
Apple Cider | Goose Ridge |

Peach | Goose Ridge |
|
6.0% | Sweet | Peach | I'm not a fan of peach flavor and this cider has a fair amount of it. |

|
6.0% | Sweet | Rosé | Pretty much a standard rosé |

|
7.8% | Dry | Light, but surprisingly flavorful for such a dry cider | |
Huckleberry | Greenwood Cider Co |
|
7.8% | Sweet | Huckleberry | Good huckleberry flavor, but yeasty aftertaste. Almost tastes like Kix. |
Lingonberry | Greenwood Cider Co |
|
7.8% | Medium | Lingonberry | This is a sour style cider - not really my thing, but not too bad |
No Bad Apples | Hard Pressed |
|
5.0% | Sweet | Tasted like a mix of the Crisp Apple ciders from both Angry Orchard and Hornsby's | |
Henry Hotspur's Hard Pressed for Cider | Hard Pressed Cider Company |
|
5.8% | |||
Peach Cobbler | Hi-Wheel |
|
6.8% | Semi-sweet | Peach Cinnamon Nutmeg | I'm not sure what was wrong, but I did not taste peach, cinnamon or nutmeg. To me this tasted like lemon juice (which I actually thought was good). On the other hand my wife said she was able to taste the spices... |
Crisp Apple | Hornsby's |
|
5.5% | Sweet | ||
Imperial Hazy Honeycrisp | Incline Cider Company |
|
8.5% | Medium | Tastes like most other imperial ciders | |
Maple Haze | Incline Cider Company |
|
5.0% | Medium | Maple Cinnamon Spiced | This is pleasantly not sweet compared to every other maple cider I have had, and the addition of cinnamon is really good especially for fall or winter. |
The Legend | Incline Cider Company |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | Lemongrass Hops | Lemon and hops flavors are subtle but noticeable and very delicious. |
Johnny Appleseed Caramel | Johnny Appleseed |
|
5.5% | Very Sweet | Caramel | This is by far one of the sweetest ciders I have ever tried. It's pretty good, but you can only drink one because of the overpowering sweetness. |
Elder & Oak | Locust Cider |
|
5.0% | Elderberry Oak | Very much like red wine | |
Mojito | Locust Cider |
|
6.0% | Semi-sweet | Mint Lime | Definitely tasted the lime, the mint wasn't really present and I felt like I could taste basil instead. Wasn't really reminiscent of a mojito. |
New England Amber | Locust Cider |
|
7.1% | Semi-sweet | Date Brown Sugar | Tastes like a lot of other Locust ciders. Dates and brown sugar are the primary flavors. |
Smoked Blueberry | Locust Cider |
|
5.0% | Semi-sweet | Blueberry Smoked | It's an interesting experiment, but I wouldn't drink a lot of it |
Sweet Aged Apple | Locust Cider |
|
5.0% | Sweet | Even though it is not the sweetest cider I have had, this one is a bit too sweet for me for just having apple flavor and no other fruit or spice flavors. | |
Vanilla Bean | Locust Cider |
|
5.0% | Very Sweet | Vanilla | Very sweet with a touch of vanilla, almost no carbonation. |

Fire Starter | North Country Hard Cider |
|
5.0% | Sweet | Cinnamon Habanero Pomegranate | Cinnamon flavor is close to overpowering everything else, especially since I didn't read the label well and was expecting more habanero flavor. You also get some heat from the habanero and touch of sweetness from the pomegranate. Very unique cider. |
Cranapple | North Idaho Cider |
|
6.9% | Medium | Cranberry | Has an odd taste to it... kind of like old people smell. |
Boysen the Berry | One Tree |
|
5.2% | Semi-sweet | Boysenberry | Pretty much your standard "berry" cider, with the usual One Tree flavor profile |
Crisp Apple | One Tree |
|

|
6.8% | Sweet | Huckleberry | |
Raspberry | One Tree |
|
6.8% | Sweet | Raspberry | |
Orchard Thieves Cider | Orchard Thieves |

Oregon Wild | Portland Cider Company |

5.0% | Semi-sweet | Standard cider taste but a little weird, slightly caramelly | |
Peach Berry | Portland Cider Company |
|
5.2% | Sweet | Peach Blueberry Raspberry Blackberry | The peach and berry flavors really don't mix well. This is really weird, but it kind of tasted like what some scented baby diapers smell like, which was really off putting. On my second try (on draft) it was actually much much better. Not too much peach, really great mix actually. Very refreshing, slightly tart. |
Perfect 10 | Portland Cider Company |
|
10.0% | Semi-sweet | I swear this cider has a hint of pineapple... | |

Pure Cider Rosé | Possmann |
|
5.0% | Sweet | Rosé Black Currant | Not as flavorful as expected. Slight earthiness to it. |
Blood Orange | Rekorderlig |
|
4.5% | Sweet | Orange | First sip tasted kind of weird, but after getting past that it was fine. Kind of sweet and artificial tasting. Definitely not up to the standards that I remember from Rekorderlig, but still good. |

Chaider | Schilling |
|
6.5% | Semi-dry | Chai | |
Dryabolical | Schilling |
|
6.6% | Very Dry | It's quite rare to come across a cider this dry. The dryness is nice, but otherwise it has that kind of metallic flavor that a lot of Schilling ciders have. | |

6.7% | Sweet | Blackberry Pear | |
Excelsior - Red Glo | Schilling |
|
8.1% | Semi-dry | Has that kind of metallic flavor that some Schilling ciders seem to have | |
Imperial Apple Pie | Schilling |
|
8.4% | Sweet | Spiced | Has the usual kind of metallic flavor from all of the Schilling "Excelsior" ciders, but with a little hint of spice. I think there are much better spiced and Christmas-y ciders out there. |
Lumberjack | Schilling |
|
6.0% | Medium | Rhubarb | |
Pommeau | Schilling |
|
24.0% | Sweet | This cider was paired very well with dark salted chocolate. I'm afraid it wouldn't be very good without that chocolate though. Tasted at Seattle Cider Summit 2018. | |
Rosé Vacay | Schilling |
|
6.9% | Sweet | Rosé Seasonal | Decent but not outstanding. Has the same metallic kind if taste that Schilling ciders seem to have. |

|
7.3% | Dry | ||
Segardo | Son of Man |
|
6.0% | Medium | I usually hate ciders of this style. The sourness and funkiness is usually overbearing. This one is actually pretty decent though. It doesn't punch you in the face when you drink (though, the smell kind of does). | |
Hazy Shade of Vintner | Soundbite Hard Cider |

6.9% | Dry | Big apple flavor for a dryer cider | |

Imperial Blackberry Pie | Square Mile Cider Co. |

|
6.2% | Medium | Rosé | Doesn't taste quite as flowery as other rosé ciders. |

8.5% | Dry | Bubbly compared to most ciders. Accurately described as dry. A little funky. | |
Hard Apple | Swift |
|
6.4% | Dry | ||
Honeycrisp | Swift |
|
6.2% | Dry | Definitely more dry than most ciders. Almost like a light beer, but very fruity. Little bit of a yeasty aftertaste. Was tough to rate this, I was between 3 and 4 actually. | |

|
4.0% | Sweet | Ginger | Tastes like a pretty standard ginger cider |
Bourbon Barrel Peach | Tieton Cider Works |
|
6.9% | Sweet | Peach | Mostly peach flavor with a hint of bourbon. I'm generally not a fan of peach cider, but this one has a nice tartness that makes it really good. |
Cherry Cider | Tieton Cider Works |
|
6.9% | Semi-sweet | Cherry | |
Imperial Apple Hard Cider | Tieton Cider Works |
|
8.4% | Medium | Pretty standard for an imperial cider | |

The Dry Side - Blues Infused | Tieton Cider Works |
|
6.9% | Dry | Blueberry | Definitely on the dry-er side as the name suggests, which is welcome for blueberry, which is a flavor that is usually much too sweet. |
The Dry Side - The Hipster | Tieton Cider Works |
|
6.9% | Medium | Rose Hip | Oddly enough I feel like this tastes very similar to the standard Angry Orchard cider. I wonder if they include a bit of rose hip in that cider. It’s so similar. |
Original | Toby's Handcrafted Cider |
|
6.0% | Dry | Very similar to Magner's, and definitely tastes like other Irish style ciders. Like other Irish ciders, it is has a slight beer flavor. | |
Huckleberry Lemon | Tumalo Cider Co |
|
6.5% | Dry | Huckleberry Lemon | This is really dry for being such a fruity cider. Pretty tart too. |
Dry | Ulee's Light Cider |
|
4.0% | Medium | What little flavor there is is good | |
Lapinette | Virtue Cider |
|
6.8% | Dry | Barrel Aged | Small flecks floating around in the cider. Dry and slightly sour. |
Apple Pie | Washington Gold Cider |
|
5.5% | Sweet | Cinnamon Nutmeg Spiced | It was just okay. Not a lot of spice flavor, which could be a good thing if you usually find these overpowering. |
Cherry Hard Cider | Washington Gold Cider |
|
5.5% | Sweet | Cherry | |
Northwest Raspberry | Washington Gold Cider |
|
5.5% | Sweet | Raspberry | Tastes a little bit fake and bitter, but overall the flavor is good |
Original Hard Cider | Washington Gold Cider |
|
5.5% | Sweet | ||
Triple Play | Whiskey Barrel Cider Co. |
|
5.1% | Sweet | Much better than the Dam Hard Cider from Whiskey Barrel. | |
Winter Lift | Whiskey Barrel Cider Co. |
|
5.1% | Medium | ||
Kingston Black and Wickson Apple | Whitewood Cider Co. |
|
6.8% | Semi-sweet | Barrel Aged | Lota of oak flavor. Yeasty at first, but tapered off. |
Sage | Wildcraft Cider Works |
|
7.6% | Semi-dry | Sage | Probably the best of the Wildcraft ciders. Fortunately it doesn't taste like the others as much which all have a similar yeasty flavor. This cider is very earthy. |

|
6.3% | Semi-sweet | Pear | Not too pear flavored |
Mendip Hills | Worley's Cider |
|
6.2% | Dry | Just your standard, dry, English style cider. A bit of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. | |
Red Hen | Worley's Cider |
|
6.2% | Dry | Dry English style cider with absolutely no surprises. Very little carbonation. Murky at the bottom of the bottle. | |
Dry Pear | Wyder's Hard Cider |
|
4.0% | Sweet | Pear | The only reason this is a 3 instead of 2 is because the pear flavor is not overpowering like some pear ciders. |
Pearsecco | Wyder's Hard Cider |
|
6.9% | Dry | Pear | Probably the driest pear cider I have tried. Pear flavor is not that strong. |
Prickly Pineapple | Wyder's Hard Cider |

Ginger Apple | Angry Orchard |
|
5.0% | Ginger | I'm just not a fan of ginger in cider | |
Peach Mango | Angry Orchard |
|
5.0% | Very Sweet | Peach Mango | Was tough to pick between 2 and 3 stars for this. The flavor is slightly fake, and it is reeeally sweet, but I was able to drink it. More mango than peach flavor. I'd take a standard Angry Orchard over this, hence 2 stars. |
Rosé | Angry Orchard |
|
5.5% | Sweet | Rosé | Tastes nothing like rosé wine, tastes more like cough syrup. Seems like there is some cherry flavor in there. |
The Old Fashioned | Angry Orchard |
|
6.5% | Medium | Cherry Orange | |

5.5% | Semi-dry | ||

6.0% | Sweet | Dragonfruit Raspberry Seasonal | |
Orange Creamsicle | Avid Cider Co. |

Ballyhook Flyer | Craigies Cider |
|
5.8% | Very Dry | ||
Blackberry Pear | Crispin |
|
5.0% | Medium | Blackberry Pear | Starts as a rosey flavor (like rosé ciders), then you taste some blackberry and very little pear. |

8.0% | Dry | Pear | |
Quince Cider | Eaglemount |
|
8.0% | Semi-sweet | Quince | I have never had quince before so I didn't know what to expect. It tastes like a cross between pear and flowers. It tasted okay at first but the more I drank the worse it got. |
Atomic Root Beer | Elemental |
|
6.5% | Very Sweet | Sassafras Licorice Spiced | This might be good if you like root beer, but it was way too sweet for me. |
Hydrogen | Elemental |
|
6.0% | Semi-sweet | Grapefruit | Not a fan of grapefruit as a flavor so naturally I was not a fan of this cider. It is a little tart. |
Nitrogen | Elemental |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | Acai | Did not like the acai flavor. |
Raspberry & Elderflower | Falling Apple |
|
5.0% | Sweet | Raspberry Elderflower | Really weird flavor, which might be the elderflower. Yeasty aftertaste is kind of gross. |
Bon Fire! | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Dry | Barrel Aged Dandelion Smoke Vanilla | Kind of a sweet flavor at first but definitely finishes dry. Vanilla is hardly present, only there as an aftertaste. Not really representative of the cider's "bon fire" name. |

6.5% | Semi-sweet | Sour Saskatoon Berry Aronia Berry | Tasted like a typical sour with lots of yeast aftertaste. Didn't actually taste any berry flavors. |
Crew Cider Selection - Wildwood Road | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Medium | Tastes quite sour | |
Finnflusse | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Semi-dry | Cranberry | Sour cider and the cranberry made the sourness over the top, but still more drinkable for me than other sours actually |
Pome & Stone | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Dry | Apricot Unfiltered | Dry apricot cider. Bitter and murky. |
Pommeau | Finnriver |
|
18.5% | Dry | Wine | I've had a couple bottles of this over the years and I can never quite get past how similar it is to drinking brandy or maybe whiskey. It's not as sweet as other pommeaus, ice wines or dessert wines which is disappointing. It's not good at room temperature for sure, it is much better chilled. |
Saffron Cream | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Medium | Saffron Oak Star Anise Fennel | Tastes mostly like cream with a bit of spice (sweet spice not hot spice) which must be the saffron but tastes a bit like ginger |
Shaded Stream | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Semi-sweet | Elderberry Elderflower | Extremely flowery, slightly earthy and a yeasty aftertaste. This one's not for the normal cider drinker. |
Sidra | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | |||
Solstice Saffron | Finnriver |
|
6.5% | Medium | Slightly better than Seattle Cider Gin Botanical | |
Sweet Ashmead's | Finnriver |
|
9.0% | Dry | Just not a great flavor. Tastes like one I could make at home. | |
Lavender Honey | Goose Ridge |
|
6.0% | Sweet | Lavender Honey | Primarily tastes of honey with a hint of lavender. Honey is not really my thing, so this one isn't great for me. |
Four Pommes | Greenwood Cider Co |
|
6.3% | Semi-dry | Pear Quince | This cider is so funky and floral (which to be fair the bottle does say) that I can't drink it. The name is really misleading. Other ciders that pack this much fruitier, sweeter and usually a little tart. |
The Ridge | Grizzly Ciderworks |

6.7% | Dry | ||
Toasty Cookie | Hard Pressed Cider Company |
|
5.5% | Very Sweet | Spiced Molasses | If you like sweet and spices to the max, this is for you. Definitely not something you can drink a lot of, more of a dessert really. Tastes like liquid gingerbread. |

Chili Pineapple | Locust Cider |
|
5.0% | Sweet | Chile Pineapple | I love the chili flavor but not the pineapple flavor |
Cold Brew Coffee | Locust Cider |
|
6.3% | Semi-sweet | Coffee | This one is super weird. You need to go into expecting coffee, and getting some cider with it. Don't expect cider with a hint of coffee. That's how I approached the first couple cans, and I could not even make it through them. Then I read the description of the cider, and changed my perspective, and it wasn't so bad. Paired well with some chocolate actually. |
Dark Cherry | Locust Cider |
|
6.0% | Semi-sweet | Cherry | |
Dark Maple | Locust Cider |
|
6.0% | Very Sweet | Maple Date Brown Sugar | Exactly as described. It's like drinking maple syrup. Insanely sweet. |
Honey Pear | Locust Cider |
|
6.0% | Sweet | Honey Pear | |
Imperial Dry Hopped | Locust Cider |
|
8.3% | Medium | Hops Passionfruit | Wow this punches you in the face with hops. I have never tested so much hop flavor in anything before, including IPAs. It's overpowering actually. You have to REALLY like hopes to like this. Also, very little passion fruit flavor, but it is there. |
Wabi Sabi Hard Cider | Locust Cider |
|
6.9% | Sweet | ||
Watermelon | Locust Cider |
|
6.0% | Sweet | Watermelon Seasonal | This cider is like pure sugar, with tons of yeast aftertaste. Watermelon is noticeable, but overpowered by yeast. Tasted at Seattle Cider Summit 2018. Tried this again from a can in 2022. Still really sweet. Watermelon flavor tastes fake. Not really any yeast flavor, but has the same similar flavor from other Locust ciders that just isn’t very good. |
Leavenworth Octoberfest | Longdrop Cider |
|
5.5% | Dry | Hops | Something was just off about the flavor |
Organic Dry | Louis Raison |
|
4.5% | Medium | Smells and kind of tastes like birthday cake. Certainly not what you would expect from a dry cider. | |
Rouge Delice | Louis Raison |
|
5.5% | Very Sweet | Too sweet for me. Tastes like birthday cake. | |
Traditional Dry | MacIvors |
|
5.6% | Dry | Has an odd taste that I can't quite put my finger on, but tastes like some kind of spice. | |
Marshland Orchards Cider | Marshland Orchards |
|
7.5% | Very Dry | Combination of being super dry, super carbonated and not great flavor makes this not a good cider. | |
Honey Bear | Methow Valley Ciderhouse |

6.8% | Sweet | Honey | Decent for a honey cider, very yeasty. |
King Cougar | Methow Valley Ciderhouse |

Mahalo 2021 | Misfit Island Cider Company |
|
6.9% | Dry | Very sour, almost lemony, very tart | |
Tropical Sunset | Misfit Island Cider Company |
|
6.9% | Semi-dry | Passionfruit Mango | Huge mango flavor, bit of passionfruit flavor and a bit of sourness. Remarkably dry for such a fruit forward cider. I first tried this on draft at their cider tasting room and gave it 4 stars then. The second time I had it from a bottle and it tasted pretty different. Very sour and funky, almost like it went bad or something. It was also more carbonated. Third time having it (from a bottle again) and had the same experience as last. |
Hopshire | North Country Hard Cider |
|
5.5% | Semi-dry | Hops | Super bitter like an IPA and way too carbonated. |
Pomegranate | Number 6 |

True Original | Number 6 |

6.0% | Semi-sweet | This had a really funky taste to it. | |
Peach Lavender | One Tree |
|
6.8% | Sweet | Peach Lavender | It was just okay. Tasted the lavender. The peach made it sweeter than I would like. |
Pumpkin | One Tree |
|
6.9% | Sweet | Pumpkin Spiced Seasonal | Worst pumpkin cider I have had |
Strawberry Rosé | One Tree |
|
6.8% | Sweet | Strawberry Grape Rosé | I taste more grape than the strawberry after which this cider is named. The initial sweetness subsides for bitterness and a hint of chemicals or some other unpleasant flavor. Actually improves a bit the more you drink, but hard to get past the initial sips. Appears to be unfiltered with a lot of haziness towards the bottom of the bottle. |
Ginger Pear | Pear Up |
|
5.3% | Semi-sweet | Pear Ginger | Tastes like pure ginger. If you like ginger you will like this, if not you won't. |
Pear Essentials | Pear Up |
|
5.3% | Medium | Pear | Not sure if ours sat too long and went bad or not, but it had a smokey flavor I didn't expect to be there. Didn't taste like pear at all. |
Pearmosa | Pear Up |
|
5.5% | Semi-sweet | Orange | You get the orange flavor up front, but the aftertaste turns into a kind of rank yeasty flavor. |

Watermelon Man | Soundbite Hard Cider |

Whiskey Barrel Asian Pear | Greenwood Cider Co |

Cask Cider | Locust Cider |

6.0% | Semi-sweet | Blackberry Thyme | Tastes nothing like blackberry, tastes more like nail polish |
Coffee Lover | Misfit Island Cider Company |
|
6.9% | Dry | Coffee | I have yet to find a coffee cider that I really like and this was no exception. It was fairly sour like the other Misfit Island ciders, but also the coffee was more on the burnt side than what I'd hope for. You'd want the sweeter coffee notes in the cider. |
Tropical Bliss | Misfit Island Cider Company |
|
7.2% | Semi-sweet | Pomegranate Guava | By the time we tried our bottles of this is must have gone bad. It was very sour and perfectly still. |

6.0% | Dry | Coffee | Literally coffee + cider |
Dark Cherry | One Tree |
|
6.8% | Sweet | Cherry | As of this writing I have only rated 3 out of 230 ciders with a 1 star rating. This cider just had such a horrible flavor to it. I dumped most of the bottle down the drain. |
Free Press Dry Cider | Oregon Mead and Cider Co. |
