| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 3, 2008 500 ml bottle- Deep rusty gold, almost amber. Pours still but the swirl produces some nice legs. Looks quite oily. On the nose, fresh robust apples, some spices, vanilla,caramel, a bit of alcohol......strangely almost earthy. Tastes of fresh apple cider, red delicious and honey crisp, a bit of spicy floral like flavour comes through with caramel and brown sugar. Quite sweet. A full bodied, and quite boozey example of a fantastic style of cider. This is exceptional, though I suggest a small serving. HogTownHarry (4002), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 27, 2008 Bottle 鸴ml corked & clear). At 2nd Annual Summer Saison Tasting - my bottle via trade with Matt7215. Amber-tinged gold pour, slick and oily-looking, solid legs. Moderately boozy aroma (but NOT 22%!), rich blend of buttery malt and overripe apple, hint of white wine. the taste initially has very strong alcohol (more than one "whoooooooooooo!:" was heard) but it settles down to a sweet, strong experience rather like a carnival candy apple liqueur. Thick, alcoholic, slightly burnt taste, the apple really comes out in the finish - well done - quite a different take on the Québec-style ice ciders, but really good. redlight (1463), Winter Park, Florida, USA

Dried apples, apple skins, some alcohol, with hints of grass in the aroma. Pours light gold, apple juice. INTENSE apple flavor, thick, tart apples, apple skins, alcohol is well hidden, big big flavor. Its very warming, with a slight musty flavor with hints of apricots. Great! garthicus (1276), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
