I swear the stuff is seriously addicting, I've tried several other competing products since I was introduced to Angry Orchard and I keep going back to it.
My only problem with it, is the amount of sugar. You drink 3 or 4 and you are ingesting a serious amount.

Ciders are sweet so I tend to stay away from them. Is there like a micro brew cider thing going on? I wonder if a cider made at home or by some small company tastes better than the mass produced stuff.

Made three people (including me) taste test between angry orchard and woodchuck. AO won 3-0.

I prefer AO over Woodchuck based on taste as well.

Had the Shock Top one last night, pleasantly surprised. Not overly sweet. Its a blend of cider and beer.

Shock Top has a new Honeycrisp Apple ale, I haven't tried it but was told it tastes like cider.
Tried it the other day, it was decent. Tasted more like apple juice than cider to me. Tasted like somebody took 30% Shock Top and 70% Strongbow and mixed 'em.

Anyone know anything about Crispin? That was available too.

Crispin is by far better than most Ciders. It is my overall favorite. It is more of a dry cider.

Woodchuck is crap. Some of their limited releases are good, but their regular one is just too damn sweet imho, and leaves a lot of aftertaste.

One thing I will tell you, from my experience, is do not judge a cider if you've ever only had it from a can. I don't know what it is, but every brand of Cider that I've ever tried tastes significantly worse from a can. Strongbow (my second favorite) from a can isn't TOO different. Crispin, however, tastes like shit from the can. Any Cider that I've ever had from cans came out tasting flat too.

Magners is supposedly best over ice, but that stuff gives me a severe headache, and I'm not a huge fan of the taste. Magners is one that I've only ever had from can, so maybe that's why I'm not a fan. I've also been told that Magners uses a lot of food coloring additives, and that many people don't react well to that.

Crispin is my favorite hard cider. I like the orange label one the best. It tends to be less filtered than most ciders so you get the natural cider sediment (yummy)

Angry orchard vs crispin: GO

(I'm buying crispin anyway, based on your recommendations )
Crispin, totally and without a doubt.

I had their cider with maple and it was good too but I prefer the original orange label stuff.
