Hornsby's uses only quality apples for the cider that goes into this beverage. Once the yeast is added, the fermentation process take several weeks. The cider makers taste the cider every day during this process. The label itself, however, is not super exciting, aside from the rhino on the front. George Hornsby needed a unique mascot for his unique cider, so he chose the rhino and encouraged drinkers to "break out of the herd." An image of George's autograph is on the neck, and the nutrition facts and ingredients (cider, carbonated water, sugars) are also listed. This cider is 5.5% ABV.
Overall average rating: 4.7/10
The appearance is a light straw/golden color with a quickly diminishing white head. I get a strong apple juice aroma, while the guys smell Golden Delicious with a hint of a red apple on the end. There is a Granny Smith taste/slight bitterness.
Shawn- This cider reminds me of Juicy Juice ("100% juice for 100% kids!" -Thanks, Chris!). It is way too sweet and there are not enough flavors other than juice, 4/10.
Angela- There is a definite apple juice flavor - it reminds me of opening a bottle of Mott's apple juice, 4.5/10.
Chris- This smells and tastes like a green apple Jolly Rancher, and it is one of the sweeter ciders I've ever had, 5.5/10.
