Cider of the night. Pours an orange amber syrup. Aroma is cooked apples, honey sweetness and apricot. Taste is syrupy texture, honey and apricot with a cloying sweetness. Great cider.

2008 vintage. 200ml bottle shared between 2 personas... Pours a predominantly copper mildly amber hue with absolutely no head whatosoever which is to be expected with a nice glazed over film of legs running down the sides of the glass... Sweet sacharine honey and liquor soaked rum apples. Very dessert like in essence with almost a thick honey like texture. Solid but the sweetness was a touch overbearing... Flavors are sweet and syrupy with concentrated caramelized granny smith apples. Sweet up front through the middle and continues on through the finish. Medium to full consistency with a pretty full bodied experience. Not much more to say except that it’s a solid ice cider that’s well deserving of a try. Wish there were more of it to go around for this tasty little treat.

Bottle, thanks kan! Pours clear deep reddish gold no head. Nose of sweet candied granny smith, pleasant but real sweet and straight forward. Flavors are real sweet green apple peel, honey, wow real crisp and super clean. Long sweet finish that never becomes too much.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
200 ml bottle, dipped with red wax and corked. Pours a clear yellow almost reddish with some bubbles and a bit of legs on the glass. A sweet sugary nose of apricot and massive apples, very ripe. The flavor exhibits some sourness, some heat, mostly sticky sweet overripe apples, but the sweetness does border on apricot as well. Very nice and different.

The 2008 vintage, pouring at Le Mondial des Cidres Glaces. Pours a clear golden treacle color. Cool apple, light acid. Borders or being super sweet, but the slowly developing acid holds it loosely in check. Acid, toast, and warm caramel on the finish.

A cognac like cider with aroma of cooked apples, maple and strawberries, very nice. In mouth, a clean caramel apple taste with burned sugar, maple, alcohol warmth lingering. My favorite at Mondial des cidres de glace, Feb. 12 2011.
