2002: Apple aroma, slightly vinegary with some butter and clove. Opaque gold with lots of floaties. Musty with crisp apples and some chlorophenols. Slightly bready finish. Nicely tart but quite off. Once you acclimate yourself to the phenols, it’s not that bad.

Jul 12, 2008 2004 Bottle. Nearly lost my eye on this bottle. I gave the cage one twist of the wires and the cork and cage assembly exploded in my hand. Violent gushing for a couple of seconds (lost about an eighth of the bottle first pour is violently carbonated, like champagne, nearly all foam, and then the bubbles appear violent in the glass. Golden yellow, chill hazed body. Second pour yeilds a white head that stays for the duration of the drink. Nose of apples, lemon citrus, horseblanket and earthiness. Taste is pretty darn dry (not Austrian Trocken, but still pretty dry). Taste is overrippened apples, earthiness, and a bit of plastic-funkiness in the finish. Sharp champagne like carbonation, and a dry mouthfeel. Gets better the more I drink it.

Jun 30, 2008 Ça sent et goûte le cuir et ça me rappelle donc les nanas sexys des gars de goths où je me suis déjà promené. C’est très doux et ça rappelle même un peu en fait ces célèbres mélanges de 7UP/Sprite et de jus de pommes que les potes et moi vendions aux nanas délurées de Ste-Foy, jadis. C’est jolimment jaune et le col blanc mousseux ne disparaît jamais. Fort agréable ! Mais ce dont je me souviendrai toujours, c’est cette odeur de cuir... miam !

Jun 29, 2008 2006 bottle. Clear gold pour with a white head that fades almost immediately. Sweet but tart apple aroma with a faint yeastiness and some noticeable horse blanket. Tart and astringent apple up front which fades to sweet green apple, yeast and faint sour funk. Dry medium body with lots of tingly carbonation.

Jun 11, 2008 From bottle Vintage 2005 : Pours a hazy amber color with a small white fizzy head that dies out after a minute or two. Nose is sweet, with sour apples. First impression is that the body is thick, quite thick. Has a sweet taste, some sour apples toward the end, and ends very dry....very dry indeed. Some apple lingers in the aftertaste, and the dry tartness. Not to bad, it is my first real cider, so i dont have much to compare it with though.

Jun 9, 2008 Vintage 2006. Warm golden with a quickly disappearing head. The aroma has a light sweetness, notes of ripe apples, light barnyard and damp basement. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of slightly sweet apples with a natural sourness, fermented apple, light, damp cellar and wood. Not bad at all!
