We recently stopped by Apple Barn Hard Cider. We have not been since they have moved into a beautiful new large building. Their old spot has changed into hard slushies.

We decided to pay for the premium tasting to try all flavors.

Flavors: *Sip Gingerly (ginger) - I remember this one from before. It is definitely strong in ginger, and similar to a gingerale. *The South (green apple) - this one was just okay. *Honey Basil (honey & basil) - I didn't care for the basil, so I was not a big fan. My husband liked this one more than me. *Red Lemonhead (strawberry lemonade) - this one was good, tasted exactly as described, just like a strawberry lemonade. *Bluebarb (blueberry & rhubarb) - this one has always been my favorite, and it is still my favorite. *Simply Muscadine (muscadine) - this was very strong in muscadine, but it was still enjoyed. It was my husband's favorite of the day. *Midnight Blue (blueberry) - this one was just okay. *Blissful Berry (raspberry & rhubarb) - this one was just okay. *Blood & Roses (blood orange & rosemary) - I did not enjoy this one as I did not like the rosemary in it. My husband liked this one more than me. *Sweet Caroline - a nice, sweet cider that I really enjoyed. *Hop Zen (grapefruit) - this one was just okay.

Favorites for me were Bluebarb, and Sweet Caroline.

The only dislikes - they don't carry all of the ciders in bottles, some are only on tap and can be filled in growlers, which is not great for traveling to have at a later date. Like another reviewer stated, I preferred when they did cans, sometimes you just don't want a full bottle. I did not care for the service, it was just over the top, show like and sales pitch like throughout the tasting - join our club, buy this to get that, etc. It was a turnoff and did not make me enjoy the tasting.

I would still recommend to stop by if you are in the area to try some hard cider!
