3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled sample via my generous neighbours. Rose tinged gold in colour and still. Aromas are of sweet apple, flowers, earth, and booze. A bit apple-pie like upfront in the mouth (complete with spices), along with apple skin. Moderate tartness. Lacking a bit of body and complexity, but still quite nice overall.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
375 ml bottle shared by TheCheeseman. Pours a deep honey gold with some nice long legs. Aroma is fresh apple cider- fresh red skins, jazz sweetness and honeycrisp- floral spicy notes. Flavor is apple must, skins, honey sweet, a bit sharp, tannic, crisp sweetness, and a crisp acidity- light malic acid. Nice and smooth.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear copper in colour with no head, alcohol legs down the glass. The aroma is quite sweet, lots of apples, only some light spice and some alcohol. The flavour has some apple skin tartness to it, only some light alcohol warmth, quite sweet. Warming mouthfeel, light body, mild carbonation. Finishes tart, sweet and long with some alcohol warmth.
The tartness in this was nice but it seems to lack the richness in the body that the top ice ciders have.
375ml bottle purchased at the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario
Opened on January 6, 2010.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
375 ml bottle from the LCBO- Deep rusty gold liquid decants from the bottle. Nice sticky legs appear after the swirl. Sweet caramelized apples with autumn spices are the main flavours with welcoming alcohol warmth. Nose is of fresh apple cider, cinnamon, floral. Sweet, thick and warming. A good iced cider if not a bit prohibitive at the price point of nearly $25.00

Liquefied caramel apples build a scrumptious body...A warm alcohol nudge soothes and aptly cuts some of the lingering sweetness...Not a masterpiece, but a valiant, straightforward ice cider nonetheless...

nice yellow colour, little amber in there too, nice sweet apple nose. Basically it smells like Mac apples to me. Alcohol is not tooo apparent in this one. tried iced cider in quebec this one ranks up there with em
