Hard Cider Reviews, Ratings, & Tastings

You name it, we will drink it! I mean, we aren't going to drink the concoction you bet your friends $5 to drink at 3 a.m. with the unwanted contents of the refrigerator, but everything else. Welcome to our page for tasting and reviewing hard ciders. We rated and reviewed some of the best ciders of 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. These hard cider ratings give you a sense of the taste profiles, our score of the cider, and some good pairing options for these hard ciders.

You can scroll through the most recent individual hard cider review or, if you are feeling lucky, use the bottom list to flip through the pages. Below the first section, we have reviews of a series of ciders from cideries across the US & Canada.

We probably reviewed one of your favorite ciders that has been long lost in your mind. Days and nights pass, fluttering on the name that eludes you. Find peace, find the review notes for our tasting of your hard ciders! If we haven't, let us know what to review next! Email us at team@ciderscene.com.
