Dark golden coder with a pleasant apple compote nose, complex, with cinnamon notes. In mouth, a tingling apple sweet cider, sweet, maple, with notes of berries. Warming alcohol accompanies the sweetness, smooth and pleasaing. Tasted at Rendez Vous des Saveurs de l’Outaouais, Sept. 24, 2006.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle shared with toncatcher. lots of sour and sweet apple flavors. Some hints of strawberry or kiwi in there too. Some wood on the finish was a bit of a surprise. Very very tasty stuff. I could get addicted to this stuff.

Jun 5, 2008 just like their neige cider, but the oak really adds another dimension. You can really tatse the oak, and a touch of vanilla, mixed with the sweet thick apples, and honey, this is intense, and so tasty

Jun 4, 2008 More subtle, complex than the Neige, less sweet, with a little wood. Acidic edge around the tongue. But most disappointingly it had less engaging apple notes than the Neige. Doesn’t rise to the delight of the best English ciders, though that’s a whole genre away. Still, can’t complain too much with the ciders of this maker. (Montreal Beer Festival, 2008).

Jun 3, 2008 2008-05-30. Deep golden yellow body. Rather woody aroma at first, thankfully fades away to be followed up by sweet-tart apple, light hints at musty apple skins. (7+) Flavour shows less of the wood, sweet well rounded fruity apple main, tart apple finish, lightest touch of skins. (8+) Smooth lightly syrupy medium palate is lighter on the tongue - pleasantly so - than some other ice ciders. Pretty nice stuff. Bottle, 2004 Vintage, Mondial, Montreal, 5T trio
