Pros: If you like to drink spiked Shirley Temples
Cons: If you're lookin' for the cranberry you won't find it
The Bottom Line: Something is way off in their formula. This batch was the strongest, sweetest cider brew I ever drank. No cranberries, though.

| LauroA's Full Review: Cider Jack |
Okay, I like the hard ciders. They're refreshing, healthy (a couple of apples a day keeps you healthy and happy) and a mild drink compared to the beers. But I think this brewmaster must have been drinking it all day long and mixed up his formula.
I mean, this tastes more like a 7-11 cherry freeze than a cranberry flavored cider. The label says "natural and artificial flavors." The natural has to be the apple, but they must have been unable to make an artificial cranberry flavor and substituted cherry instead.
Another reason I think the brewmaster was drinking his own stuff is that the label says 5% alcohol but it's more like 20. A couple of shots and I'm feeling more like I drank a sloe gin fizz. Something went way wrong in this batch.
In its favor a fizzy foamy head and a super strong alcoholic content so after you drink one, the next one will taste just right.
This would make a good grad party punch or for on the beach at Waikiki.
