I just can't find a cider this year with a good bite.
Most just taste like apple juice.
What's going on ?

I made applesauce last night, using the 4 varieties of apples that I had on hand: gala, honeycrisp, sweetango (I think) and one other. I tasted each one along the way, and was surprised at how different they all tasted. Honeycrisp was fine, but gala was more "appley;" sweetango tasted a bit like a pear, and the last one...I swear my first impression was Bob Evans sausage. It had kind of a sage taste.
Anyway, ciders tend to be blends of juice from different varieties (e.g. goldrush). If you've noticed a loss of quality, it's possible that one particular crop didn't do well this year. FWIW, I haven't heard anything.Comment

The apple cider that I've been getting here in New York seems to taste exactly the same as it has any other Fall or Winter in the past.
I like it hot with a cinnamon stick or two added.

I do too. I like the Apple Grape (like non-alcoholic wine), and Apple Cranberry. But I do miss the cider we used to get at teh store in NYC. For some reason, a lot of the other store brands don't taste the same.

We typically get it from the Amish when we visit relatives in Michigan in October. You can only get it during apple season. It's the best ever.sigpic WANTED: Boxed, Carded and Kresge Carded WGSHComment

I think my biggest prob is my local fleamarket closed down --- it's now a Price Chopper.
I used to get my cider there from a local Amish family.
These people made cider and apple-or-corn fritters to die for.
After they were booted out to make room for the Price Chopper my local Walmart picked up a few brands that actually were decent.
This year it seems like everybody's cider is tameComment

never heard of non alcoholic cider.Comment

This surprised me, as I hadn't heard of alcoholic cider until 2005 maybe. Non-alcoholic cider is just unfiltered, unsweetened apple juice. Wiki covers the basics.
