Bottle at the TURD tasting. Big sweet aroma of apples, caramel and spices. The flavor follows with rich and intense apples, nutmeg, honey, and caramel. Holy hell this is good.

[375ml bottle courtesy of cgarvieuk] Looks like golden syrup. No head, of course. Aroma of slightly spiced apple, reminiscent of a Danish pastry. Sweet, syrupy apple flavour with a hugely rising sweet sticky finish. Reminded me very much of a dessert wine, as it also had that slight Botrytis honey edge on the finish, alongside the sweet stewed apple. Summed up in two words – sticky, and sweet. Very nice apple flavour though, no question. Like drinking apple honey [22042012]
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bottle at Max’s for the Turd Tasting courtesy of Ryan. Pours a golden syrup with no head or lacing. Aroma is freshly cut apple slices, apple sauce with cinnamon, light funk and earthy tones. Mouthfeel is syrupy and rich with notes of honey, apples, cinnamon, earthy spices, light funk, apple sauce and apple juice. Probably the best Ice Cider I’ve had the pleasure of trying thus far.

UPDATED: APR 27, 2012 In bottle, thanks Alex! Pours a dark golden colour with an amazing aroma of spiced apple strudel, sweet creme brulee, cinnamon, cloves and lychees. Similar flavours with plenty of lovely spiced apple again. Mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Superb!

2008 vintage at cgarvieuk’s Danish Invasion tasting. Clear viscous golden pour. Looks like Sauternes. Incredibly rich nose, apple pie, cooking apples, creme brulee/vanilla, slight marzipan, orange blossom, some warm alcohol. Amazing light sweetness, elderflower, floral, not at all cloying, incredibly complex flavours, tart apples, amazingly rich, some light spices. WOW.

Bottle at MaxxDaddy’s tasting. Pours amber. Nose/taste is absolute perfection in a glass - sweet syrupy honey and liquified frozen apple. Sweet but well balanced and perfectly constructed. Medium body.

4.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
Bottle at craig’s, thanks Alex. Pours like apple juice, glowing golden yellowish with a small white ring of head. Aroma is massive, very intense, sweet apples, with a wine like fruitiness, incredibly pleasing. Taste is divine, sweet intense apple with a slight honey edge, such an intense apple flavor. Very sweet and dangerously drinkable, tantalises the palate. An absolute pleasure to drink, a truly remarkable beverage.

Bottle shared at the NY Meet the TURD tasting; thanks rciesla! Pours a shiny gold, headless. Rich aroma of apples, nutmeg, and Jennifer Love Hewitt’s tits. Great intense flavor of apple liqueur, apple skins, and pumpkin pie. Savory and syrupy sweet while just dry enough to be balanced. Rich and delicious!
