Blond color. The aroma is strong, surprising: apricot candies, pears, then apples, slightly citrusy. Oily mouthfeel, almost syrupy; sweet and acidic apple juice, with notes of concentrated peach and pineapple. The balance of sweetness and acidity is perfect, it lacks a bit of complexity. Very good.

Bottled. A golden cider. The aroma has notes of concentrated apple juice and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, apples, and some sirup, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a clear golden. Intense yet fresh apple and vanilla accents. Very intense body, sophisticated and sweet apple with an almost perfumy touch. Again vanilla accents. Lovely alcohol in the finish. Wonderful - as most ice ciders. 110110

Bottle ( 375ml clear, corked ). Purchased at 2009 Mondiale from the Cidery booth. Slightly amber-tinged gold, clear, slightly thick and oily-looking, minimal white head. Aroma of moderate alcohol, tangy, slightly overripe golden apple (with some skin); simple, a bit delicate, very good. Taste follows - vaguely of baked alaska and slightly green off-dry chablis, doesn’t seem very sweet up front, but you get sweet tangy ripe apple in the finish - quite tasty, I would love this with the pate-maison at Le Select Bistro. Slick, somewhat acidic mouthfeel, a delicate mineral tanginess in the finish, moderately alcohol -TASTING (but seems to pack more of a punch than the 10.5% ABV listed) - I would definitely get this again, well above middle of the pack, IMO.

Date de fabrication et de lot 20/04/07, sur la bouteille nous pouvons lire 10,5% et non 11%. Dégusté dans un verre tulippe a une température de 7 degré celcius. De couleur jaune or avec reflet orangé limpide avec de micro particule de pomme. Au nez on évoque la purée de pomme, des traits de caramel et de canelle. Bonne gazéification, le sucré de la pomme est présent autour de l’alcool et je ressent une légère amertume très agréable malgré le sucré dominant. Épais et huilleux en bouche au réchauffement je peux goûter un assenblage de plusieurs variété de pommes. Exquis!
