Fox Barrel (http://www.foxbarrel.com) was a brand I came upon during a random trip through my local Kroger. I was torn between Crispin or Fox Barrel, but found Fox Barrel to have the better looking bottle and labeling (and it has a fox for crying out loud..! It would beat a simple tree everytime! Do a barrel roll!). I snagged the 4-pack and took it home.
My only real comparison for Fox Barrel cider was JK's Scrumpy and Woodchuck. I was looking forward to the fact that it was a pear cider and was drawn by the details of how the cider was produced. After that first sip, I realized that the cider wasn't sweet at all. It was nothing like JK's or Woodchuck. It was part of the realization that you could have different ciders or even the same "type" of beer, but get pronounced tastes with each one. The cider would be refreshing on a hot, summer day. The pear taste wasn't very pronounced..really subtle. In fact, I'm not sure if I could remember that I was tasting pear the whole time. Even though it was different, I'd definitely drink again.
Grade: B
Price paid: 2:00 (7.99 for 4 pack)
