1. JK Scrumpy Farmhouse Organic Hard Cider




I talk about my interest in beer and the first thing I put out is a hard cider?!  You saw that right.  I feel that it should be included in my quest and when I first started to get into beer, I found myself attracted to hard cider.  It was a gateway drink for me.

I ended up getting a JK "bomber" (22 oz bottle for those of you wondering) while eating at a Mellow Mushroom in Atlanta, GA (http://www.organicscrumpy.com).  We were in town to watch an Atlanta Braves game after we had a enjoyable time whitewater rafting down the Ocoee River.  I'm obviously trying to call my past, so forgive me if my reviews are lacking.

My wife isn't a big beer or cider drinker.  She usually will take a sip, but that's about it.  This was one of the first things that she actually liked.  We've actually had this cider in other occasions, which is quite the rarity.  

The standout of this cider was the fact that it was sweet.  Really sweet.  After having future ciders, I'm looking back and realizing that maybe it was too sweet.  Tasted like some carbonated apple juice, with just a little bit of bite.  

Grade: B
Price paid: $10
