Describe the flavor. Was it too dry (sour) ? This is a sign that it either fermented too long or didn't have enough sugar added at the start of fermentation. You can "back sweeten" it, meaning letting it clarify a little bit, and then adding more sugar AND THEN CLOSING THE CAP REALLY QUICK OR YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A CIDER GEYSER and putting it back into the fridge.
