Don't expect hard cider to taste like apples. It tastes like hard cider. Somewhat harsh, maybe a little sweet, depending.
My 'cider' summer brew is doing great, moving into cooler weather. I may be asleep in a couple of hours.

The one I had seemed to have a slight and I mean very slight hint of a vinegar back taste to it. Is that to be expected? This was a sill Hard Cider do you carbonate yours?
All the frozen concentrates I found did not have the offending preservatives.
I’ll be putting 5 gallons of cider into the carboy tomorrow.
