my girlfriend got one of those the other night and it was surprisingly good. I feel like I can appreciate a good cider and this was way up on my list. Had real flavor and wasn't terribly sweet and syrupy like the ciders that seem to be the most popular. I've had a few ciders (Harpoon's cider being the most recent) that obviously tried to avoid the super sweetness but ended up just being at the complete opposite end of the spectrum.. boring and tasteless. Cidre was right in the middle.

Stronger cider tends to come out tasting closer to apple wine, I think some breweries add a sweetener of some sort to certain ciders. IMO a dry cider is a good cider but they tend to be hard to find, so I brew my own.

It's been a stretch since I've had the stella. And I, too am in favor of the more dry against the too sweet when it come to drinking apples. Strongbow has been the go to for a while and also comes in fours as do the Magners around here.
Someone would have to really push me into Woodchucks pumpkin, but then again I'm not normally a fan of the orange gourd.
I have a gallon of juice sitting in the pantry and have never brewed my own.. yet. Any tips or tricks, RaleighSport?

My pants used to fit me
Most stuff state-side that calls itself dry still tastes like Woodchuck. Washington makes some decent dry ciders, Tieton comes to mind. Import-wise, Aspall and Dupont Cidre Bouche Brut fit the bill and are pretty easy to find though they're pretty pricey.

its super easy to make really dry cider. it'll cost you about 30bux for 5gal and another 15bux for a 6gal fermentation bucket.
and then u need bottles and caps and....
or ghetto method:
1 gal jug of apple juice
4oz of brown sugar (boiled in small solution of water and cooled to room temp)
1 packet of brewers yeast
drink about 1/4 of juice.
add all the other **** and shake the **** outta it.
slightly leave the cap ajar and put it away for 7 days.
you'll have about a 6% cider that is REALLY F'N DRY
if you want to carb it.
put 1oz of sugar in water solution, seal the cap tight as possible and let it go for 3 days (or until the plastic jug expands a bunch) and PUT IN FRIDGE IMMEDIATELY (to sleepify the yeasty)
so ghetto, so dry. so cheep. get dronk

You can PM me if you get serious about it and have questions as well.
Man, I remember when I was living in Paris you could get brut ciders that were so dry they tasted like green apple juice with dirt and a rusty nail soaked in it (I mean that in a good way). Cider from the Basque country is even dirtier.

Our local Kroger carries it. Not sure if you have them locally, but the Cidre has been super easy to find around here.
They aren't bad, one of the better ciders I've had lately.
Bold Rock Virginia Apple is pretty nice too.

Our Kroger's are called Fry's but I haven't found in there yet. We have Bev Mo and Total Wine though, so I'm sure I'll find it in one of them.

havent tried their cinnamon but tried another and ive had other apple ciders...which i like.
i dont really mix liquor. With beer or flavored bits. Either im drinking beer or im drinking hard alcohol on the rocks or straight up. i occasionally drink beam and cokes but thats about it and im not fond of shooting things as i prefer to taste them. You still can get drunk sipping and drinking liquor opposed to shooting it
