So the hooch I made is getting better. I think @Dory would be proud. It's cider without being soda sweet.
Cider isn't supposed to be sweet o_O

My cousin own an apple orchard. Every year we get like 15 gals of uncircumsized... non-pasteurized cider. It has leaves in it and shit, it's also bitter as fuck and fizzy.

Just shows that when you forget to Google you demonstrate how little real knowledge you have. Cider is a really varied drink. Sweet, dry, cloudy, clear. Try comparing Normandy cider and one from Somerset then make a categorical statement other than 'cider is made from apple juice'. National rules vary from requiring 100% apple down to maybe 25% and cider goes from still to the extreme of Argentina where it's carbonated. Sweetness or dryness also covers a wide spectrum so stating that it 'isn't supposed to be sweet' is nonsense.

We're actually talking about alcoholic cider, which in the US is VERY sweet.
