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. Ɨ+) Flavour shows less of the wood, sweet well rounded fruity apple main, tart apple finish, lightest touch of skins. Ƙ+) 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

May 7, 2008 I’m not a cider guy. But, I used to date this girl that went ape shit over them and I would try them from time to time. Well, this is like no other cider I have tasted. Very sweet, smooth and tasty. The apple flavor was very similar to Martinelli’s, except sweeter. I love Martinellis. Drank this at Toncatcher’s tasting and I think this was his bottle. Thanks for opening it. I need more now.

May 3, 2008 Bottle at toncatcher tasting. The lone cider and a standout. Poured a thick syrupy 18k gold color with no head. The aroma was rich and sweet with slightly tart apples. The flavor was also overtly sweet with lightly tart apples, and a touch of vanilla. The mouthfeel was full and smooth. The finish was long with lingering MacIntosh apples. Overall: My first cider rate and I’m blown away. Gotta get some more of this.

May 3, 2008 2004 vintage. Pours still, with a thick, syrupy looking body. Dense, sugary legging coats the glass well on a swirl. The nose shows sweet, fresh, crisp green and red apples. Smells very similar to the regular Neige, with the faintest kiss of new oak lending a touch of complexity. The flavor is of ultra-concentrated, tangy Granny Smith and sweet Washington Red apples. To date, only the Frimas exceeds this one in concentration. The oak presents itself in a light, toasty manner, a perfectly subtle compliment to this fantastic cider. Thick and syrupy, the body is sweet but never cloying. Excellent dessert drink, from the king of cideries.
