Commonwealth Cider from PBC on Tap Now

Posted by Foobooz on August 27th, 2012

Late last summer Philadelphia Brewing Co. produced a very limited run of cider and this year they’re back with more. Now called Commonwealth Ciders, the first cider to be released in wider distribution is Traditional Dry, described as a very dry and crisp. It is currently on tap in at least seven local bars.

If you’ve already sampled the cider, let us know what you think.

      its good but isn’t as good as Jack’s

      Had a pint at interstate brew house. Did not enjoy it. Tasted watery compared to angry orchard or any

      Had a few pints at Johnny Brenda’s and it was very refreshing. Will definitely continue to seek this cider out Not cloyingly sweet like Crispin or Angry Orchard. I could see why younger drinkers might not like this.

      I love almost everything PBC makes but this cider is not good. It’s the Miller Lite of cider. Watery and not much flavor in my opinion.

      Love this cider. I don’t like sweet wine, sweet beer, or sweet cocktails, so I never enjoyed the ciders that were out there. This one is tart even a little like cider vinegar, and it has very little sweetness. I’m cutting down on gluten, so this is now my go-to brew.
      If you’re into carmel-y beers and so on, this will taste pretty off to you.

      I didn’t enjoy the first pint I had of PBC’s cider (at Mac’s Tavern, IIRC). But I think I’ll try it again, because it seems based on the comments here that there may have been some consistency issues when it was first released. I prefer crisp, even tart ciders, but I didn’t detect either of these qualities in my initial taste. I definitely got some of the watery batch.
