Pours a gorgeous reddish goden with no head. Aroma is sweet and yeast. Taste is a great apple tartness mixed with sweet and a slow yeast dryness. Great for New Years.

Bottle shared at the Cider Tasting. Pours a richer copper amber hue, a gorgeous glow, no haze, some thicker legs, no head. Aromas are rich apple, a touch tart, bitter on the nose with some yeasty presence, rich mellow sweetness, red apples, and faint honey. Some dry yeast. Initial is medium to heavier, with a substantial sweeter apple, touches bitter, dry, and lingering alcohol heat into that finish. Mellow rich apple with an interesting rich sweetness, dry yeastiness, and tartness. Finish is lingering tartness, cool apples, and touches of ABV heat. I like this, gives a Rose feel with mellow sweetness, dry hybrid. Mmmm. Tartness sticks around. Top notch, my favorite of the evening.

Bottle at cider tasting. Rose pour with no head. Aroma is sweet, full of apple, honey, some vanilla caramel like tones. Flavor is sweet but not cloying, caramel apple, brandy and some tart fruit tones.

Sampled from the bottle. Poured a nice clear ruby red with no head whatsoever. Aroma was full of tart apples with a bit of a crab apple note and enough sweetness to balance. Flavor began with tart apples that was balanced by a slight sweetness. Finish was more tart, reminded me a bit of crab apples. Really worked for me.

2009 vintage. Bright red pour. The nose is really bright and fruity. Very light tartness with a mix of malic and citric character. On the palate the tartness is very intense. Bracing with a mixture of raspberry and strawberry flavour as well. Incredibly unique with a great mix of tartness and rich fruity aromatics. Excellent balance. Vineous and delicious. Wow - really awesome stuff.

A pinkish cider with aroma of light apples over a bed of roses, powdery and interesting. In mouth, a nice sweet apple followed by intense apple skin sourness, astringence, cranberries, quite nice. Mondial des cidres de glace, Feb. 12 2011.

(Dusty Notes) Generous rosey/amber sample pour at Paul’s(Dickinsonbeer) via the official tasting glass. Very regal. :) Smell is tart & sweaty, peppery & alcoholic. Ethyl Acetate fumes rise up along those of saturated oak & bittersweet apple skins. So intense you want to suckle it. Taste is overshadowed by the amazing smell, though still quite wonderful. Tart & leafy. A lemon-honey apple sauce if there were such a thing. Not big or complex. The body is middle of the road, & the alcohol is a little too small to really carry the necessary flavors. It does manage a bittersweet finish, though it stops abruptly in its tracts too soon to be called lingering. You may or may not notice yourself melting into your seat breathing in the leftover residuals clinging to your glass. That is worth a few extra points in the "overall" category to me.

@Rudolph Throwdown-got in trade with Fred82 THANKS!-375ml bottle-pours no head and pink/amber color. Aroma is sweet apple/raspberry. Taste is sweet apple/raspberry, light malt. Finishes with some tart. Smooth. Minimum carbonation.

375 ml bottle. Pours a nice clear violet ruby red/pink with nice sappy legs. Aroma is slight vege, big tart apple skins and flesh, fresh pressed cider, floral, rose hips, hibiscus, sugary sweet. Flavor is more floral notes, big rose hip flavor with the biting acidity- fresh apple juice, tart apples, big bracing mineral acidity cutting through the medium thick honey apple sweetness- very tart and acidic in the finish- inducing heartburn. I love the tart/sweet balance here- it is like they are fighting for power throughout, but then in the end the tartness wins. Awesome.
