Cidrerie Michel Jodoin Rubis de Glace

Poured a gorgeous hazy red, with some strong orange notes. Aroma is very acidic, green apple like. There are some tantalizing spice notes as well. The flavor is so unique, with a bracing acidity that is razor sharp, cutting the sweetness nicely. Very good cider...

Relabeled as "Cidre de glace rose." Poured a perfectly clear red-orange with no head. The aroma was full of apples and sweetness. Since this was my first Ice cider I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, but it was great. Flavor was full of sweet and sour apples, one of my favorite flavors in general, and the cider didn’t disappoint. The finish was very dry and prickly and even more tart. I definitely need to take a trip to Quebec to get more of this, and I may even have to give Geneva apples a try. This is certainly the "Michael Jordan" of ciders, as far as I can tell.

Relabeled as "Cidre de glace rose." A brilliant red-orange color with no head to speak of. Has some decent legs to it. Aroma of caramel apples along with a fair bit of tartness as well. Taste is beautiful: starts off very sweet, but then dries up in a flash. Dryness melds into sourness, leaving the tongue feeling a bit prickly. When on the tongue, this cider feels almost weightless, like it’s just sort of floating there. Haven’t experienced that before. Finishes bone dry and sour. It practically sucks all the moisture out of my mouth; it even makes my tongue stick out! This is some kind of good, let me tell you. I must get another bottle.

Chestnut colour with a small off white head. Apple fruity aroma with dark berry fruity notes and a vague alcohol hint. Sweet fruity flavor with notes of apple and dark berries. Light dry and sweet finish.

375 mL bottle, thanks to Ungstrup. Pours golden red with a lacing white head. Aroma is berry sweet and slight citric, slight alcohol aroma. Quite apple citric sour. Finish is quite nicely citric levelled off with a slight sweet note. Wow. Great finish.
