Les Roy de la Pomme - Verger et Cidrerie Reviews

beerplace	3.8 Les Roy de la Pomme Frileux Beauceron 375ml (thx, Frank S.!) @ Ryan's after kids' time. Appearance: clear blonde. Aroma: some sweetness and apples, nothing complex, but it's pretty pleasant. Taste: along the same lines. It gets better when it's warming up. Overall: very simple for an ice cider, but still pleasant enough for drinking. Friday, December 8, 2023
pictoman	3.6 Les Roy de la Pomme Frileux Beauceron Poured from 375mL bottle. Clear pale blonde with no head. Mild stewed apples, feint sweet toffee, lacks complexity, but still tasty. Has some additional flavour as it warms. Friday, December 8, 2023

fiery1	3.7 Les Roy de la Pomme Frileux Beauceron 375ml bottle @ the office. Pours a clear golden colour with no head. Nose is tart apples, stewed apples, with a subtle toffee note. Flavour is upfront tart apples, ample stewed apples, and hint of toffee. Medium to heavy bodied, no carbonation, and a high sweetness with a mild acidity. Drinkable and decent. Thursday, June 20, 2019
Ferris	3.6 Les Roy de la Pomme Frileux Beauceron Nice sweet apple and baked notes. Clear gold. Sweet and sticky with long sweet apple finish. Thursday, June 20, 2019
Oakes	3.6 Les Roy de la Pomme Frileux Beauceron Golden colour with no head. This has a syrupy, sugary. Decent ice cider. Solid. Thursday, June 20, 2019
fiulijn	3.4 Les Roy de la Pomme Frileux Beauceron Corked bottle, courtesy of Matt; 6.8% ABV Blond to golden colour. Sweet apple juice aroma. Sweet flavour with little complexity. Pleasant and clean but nowhere close to the top ones. Friday, May 10, 2019
mcberko	3.4 Les Roy de la Pomme Frileux Beauceron 375mL bottle, pours a clear golden blonde. Aroma brings out lots of stewed apples, caramelized sugars, and gentle toffee. Flavour is along the same lined, with lots of stewed apples, laid back caramelized sugars, and toffee. Not a whole lot of depth, but for a 7% ice cider, it’s very pleasant. Saturday, May 4, 2019
Minderbinder	3.3 Les Roy de la Pomme Frileux Beauceron Sample. Pours blond with no head. Nice legs. Aroma is of flowers, apples, pears. Taste is of flowers, apples, pears. Palate: Full bodied. No carbonation. Overall: Good, simple. A pleasant drink. Tuesday, June 28, 2016
SlovakSniper	3.2 Les Roy de la Pomme Le Poiré Une robe dorée qui se dessine des jambes. Au nez, voilà une belle présence de poire et de pomme attaquée par des feuilles vertes ou autres branches avec fleurs des arbres fruitiers. Au goût, mes papilles nagent dans un mélange plutôt intéressant de fleurs, de cidre, de poiré, de miel et d’alcool qui se signale davantage en fin de bouche. En bouche, le liquide montre un corps agréable, presque huileux. J’ai apprécié cette dégustation mais pas assez pour me dire qu’il faut reboire. Tuesday, May 17, 2016
SlovakSniper	3 Les Roy de la Pomme Le Plaisir de la Pomme Léger Une liquide jaune clair. Un nez de paille et de pomme de route. Un goût léger de pommes en cuir avec des notes florales et un fond de sucre à glacer. Une bouche mince sans être aqueuse. Une finale sèche avec des connotations sauvages et des impressions de vin blanc de dépanneur. Tuesday, May 3, 2016
JulienHuxley	2.4 Les Roy de la Pomme Pomera 1 oz sample. Clear amber gold pour. Aroma is super solventy, paint thinner, light wood alcohol, maple, apple. Taste is solventy rich maple flavor, unfortunately with tons of pretty bad boozy flavors, weird apple acidity that doesnt blend well at all with the maple flavor. Palate is med-full bodied with burning alcohol finish. Garbage. Sunday, April 10, 2016
JulienHuxley	3.1 Les Roy de la Pomme Le Poiré 2 oz sample. Bright gold pour, nice clarity. Aroma is cidery, lots of pear, light waxy notes, honey, floral notes. Taste is fruity, pear, honey, light acrid bitterness I could’ve done without. Palate is med-light bodied, nice and dry, warming alcohol. Decent. Sunday, April 10, 2016
JulienHuxley	2.6 Les Roy de la Pomme Clair de Lune 4 oz sample. Clear pinkish red pour. Very jammy overripe strawberries, cloying perfumy aroma. Taste is sweet, overpowering overripe strawberry, nice sweetness, juicy. Palate is light bodied, a tad watery, sweet. Weird, kind of like drinking strawberry juice actually (which isn’t very good). Unappealing at best. Sunday, April 10, 2016
JulienHuxley	3.1 Les Roy de la Pomme Le Plaisir de la Pomme Léger 4 oz sample. Clear blond pour. Aroma of fruity apple, light sulfur, apple peel, light green apple. Taste is tart, fruity, apple peel, light sweetness, light winey character. Palate is light-med bodied, light booziness. Decent. Sunday, April 10, 2016
mathieuc	3.4 Les Roy de la Pomme Le Plaisir de la Pomme Léger Pours a clear pale yellow with some legs. Nose is of apple skin, slight wild yeast, apple flesh and some alcohol. Taste is lightly acidic and pretty dry, offers some crisp apples. Body is light to medium and carbonation nil. Slightly tannic. A fair cider, I would certainly get that one again if offered in a small bottle or can. Saturday, April 9, 2016
JulienHuxley	2.9 Haut St-Jean Pleine Lune 2 oz sample. Bright candied pink pour. Aroma is fruity, sweet, tons of raspberry, overripe strawberry, something vegetal like squash, leafy notes. Taste is sweet, herbal tea like leafy fruity flavors, rather dry, low sweetness. Palate is med-light bodied with light booze on the finish. Meh. Friday, April 8, 2016
JulienHuxley	3.2 Les Roy de la Pomme Frileux Beauceron 2 oz sample. Clear pale gold pour. Aroma of tart apples, fresh, juicy apple aroma, floral notes. Taste is cidery, apple juice, strong acidity, not very sweet, some ripe apple in the finish lingers behind for a bit. Palate is med bodied, rather dry and definitely not satisfying enough for an ice cider. No obvious flaws, this drinks fine but it just isn’t on par with the style and what cideries around here have gotten us used to. Friday, April 8, 2016
czar	3.1 Les Roy de la Pomme Le Poiré pours unclear very pale golden, some legs are sticking in there. caramelized pears, some purée/sauce notes, white grapes and golden raisins sweetness; awkward celery salt presence, floral honey notes, astringent/bitter lemon peel - touch of acidity; light phenolic bananas. flat carbonation, medium body - oily and round; semi-sweet, very boozy and astringent finish. a pretty decent strong and sweet still perry. Tuesday, April 5, 2016
czar	3.1 Les Roy de la Pomme Le Plaisir de la Pomme Léger pours clear very pale yellow with shy legs attributes. kind of fresh red apples - linear though; some pears, lightly astringent alcohol, bitters as well; faint bretty presence - shy tropicail notes; yeast. flat carbonation, medium body - round and oily; semi-sweet spicy-citrusy finish. linear yet more than decent semi-dry ’’low’’ abv still cider. Tuesday, April 5, 2016
mathieuc	2.9 Les Roy de la Pomme Le Poiré Pours a clear pale golden with some legs. Nose is of alcohol and some pears perhaps. Taste is of pear, light bitter alcohol. Not too tasty overall. Light drying alcohol. Body is light to medium, a bit weak if you ask me but it still offers some "juicy" moments. Bah... P.S. It got better as it warmed. Monday, April 4, 2016
tom10101	3.1 Les Roy de la Pomme Le Poiré 4 oz sample from bottle (750 ml) at home. Thanks to czar for this! Clear bright pale golden with no head and little legs on the glass. Flavor of pears, phenol, alcohol notes and mild green apples presence. Taste is moderatelty sweet, mildly acidic and the alcoho show up a bit. Medium body. Still. Pears and some alcohol warmth in the finish. Decent Perry. Not much complexity or depth but ok balance and not too much boozy presence considering the abv. Thursday, March 31, 2016
tom10101	3 Les Roy de la Pomme Le Plaisir de la Pomme Léger 4 oz sample at home. Courtesy of czar, thanks! Ultra pale yellow leaving no head and very little lacing. Flavors of mild white wine, greem-ish apples and mild hay. Taste is very slightly sweet and not much more acidic. Light body. Still. White wine-like finish with herbal notes. It’s not very flavorful but it’s super easy drinking. Decent. Thursday, March 31, 2016
tom10101	2 Les Roy de la Pomme Pomera Sample, thanks to czar. Clear golden-amber leaving some legs on the glass. Flavors of alcohol/booziness, solvent, artificial maple, berries, caramel and some spiciness. Taste is sweet and hot with not much acidity or depth to compensate so it’s rather cloying. Medium body. Oily mouthfeel. Solvent finish, burning quite a bit. I’m surprised nobody noticed yet that the mix of cider/ice cider and maple is ALWAYS disgusting. Both products can be great on their own but together it’s god awful. This one makes no exception and, if it wasn’t enough, it’s also boozy and solventy. Completely unbalanced. Wednesday, March 30, 2016
tom10101	3.1 Les Roy de la Pomme Frileux Beauceron 2 oz sample at home. Thanks czar! Clear ultra pale golden leaving little legs. Flavors of apple, mild spiciness, honeyed sweetness, mild citrus, mild brown sugar and herbal notes. Taste is slightly sweet and mildly acidic with not much alcohol showing up. Medium body, light for an ice cider. A bit oily. Dull finish. It’s a very weird ice cider. Lighter than most, much more "honey" oriented with a light body and not much sweetness. It’s ok, but definitely not one I would seek. Monday, March 14, 2016
mathieuc	2.7 Haut St-Jean Pleine Lune Pours a clear rosé with some legs. Nose is of raspberry candies and light alcohol. A fresh and almost minty feel, too. Taste is of raspberry Kool-Aid with some lightly bitter alcohol. Medium body and a slightly juicy but ultimately weak mouthfeel. A bit of alcohol dries the mouth. Meh. Monday, March 14, 2016
czar	2.6 Les Roy de la Pomme Pomera pours clear medium dark golden, orange-pink tint with some nice legs. woody tannins - perhaps from maple tap water; astringent and aggressive alcohol - spirit or cheap mead-like; phenolic caramel, some boozed red berries, tingling ginger, hint of acidity, vanilla. flat carbonation, medium to full body - oily; semi-sweet, spicy and hot maple finish. apples are overshadowed by full-blown maple tap water/syrup and harsh ethanol. not a complete fail to me. agreed that it’s a disgrace to quebec ice cider, and to maple syrup i would add. Monday, March 14, 2016
tom10101	2.4 Les Roy de la Pomme Clair de Lune Sample (4 oz) at home. Thanks to czar for this one! Clear pinkish red with faint legs. Flavors of artificial raspberries and strawbeeries along mild herbal notes and not much else. Taste is very slightly sweet and mildly acidic with a touch of alcohol. Medium body, but watery. A bit oily mouthfeel. Artificial fruits finish. Cloying. Fail. Monday, March 14, 2016
czar	3.1 Haut St-Jean R de Glace sample. pours clear bright golden, not really showing off any legs. blue grapes (!), some red fruitiness and plain apple caramel purée - fire cider reminiscence; honeyed apples, some brown sugar sweetness - nicely dosed; ginger, vanilla, woody, astringent booze, hint of acidity - citrus fruits (!), minerals. flat carbonation, medium to full body - quite syrupy; sweet and spicy finish. unrefined grape-like cider, which is odd. this is a new product, and yet, it feels oxidized. far from world class ice ciders. ugh. Monday, March 14, 2016
tom10101	3 Haut St-Jean Pleine Lune 2 oz sample at home. From czar, thanks! Clear pinkish with no head or lacing. Flavors of raspberries, strawberries, alcohol, not much apples... a bit artificial but not that bad. Taste is semi-sweet with very mild berries acidity and a bit of alcohol warming but not that much for the abv. Medium body. Oily mouthfeel. Warming finish with strawberries and raspberries. Slightly dry. Like Slovak said, there’s not much apple presence in there, which is always dull for a cider. Not bad per se, but I don’t see an occasion where I would enjoy drinking an high abv not really acidic and not really apple forward berries cider. Monday, March 14, 2016
czar	2.9 Haut St-Jean Pleine Lune pours clear pale but bright pink with some sticky boozy legs. obvious raspberries, raspberry seeds - their disturbing astringency; jammy strawberries, aggressive alcohol, boozy apple jelly, rose petal traces, clean. flat carbonation, medium body - oily; burning hot citrusy finish. not bad but rough on the booze and shy apple character overshadowed by raspberries. Monday, March 14, 2016
czar	3.1 Les Roy de la Pomme Frileux Beauceron pours clear extra pale golden with roughly no legs, kenny-style. spicy and floral honey, some golden delicious apples, pear juice sweetness, lightly astringent alcohol, bitter citrus peel, peppery ginger, clean yeast. flat carbonation, light to medium body; sweet but never cloying honey-spicy finish. simple with some semi-sweet mead qualities. Monday, March 14, 2016
czar	2.7 Les Roy de la Pomme Clair de Lune pours clear bright orange-red with some shy leg attributes. sweetish strawberry notes, strawberry liquor, red apple and raspberry jam, faint acidity - light and plain citric; lightly tannic leaves, alcohol, minerals. flat carbonation, medium body - oily; semi-sweet and astringent herbal finish. sweet and cheap rosé-like wine. far from a fail though. Monday, March 14, 2016
mathieuc	3.4 Les Roy de la Pomme Frileux Beauceron Pours a clear light golden with limited legs. Doesn’t feel too syrupy, too, I first thought it was a regular cider even. Nose is of crisp tart apples with some light brown sugar and alcohol. Taste is lightly tart and lightly sweet with some juicy apples and lightly brown sugar. Never hot. Body is light to medium by ice cider standard and mouthfeel is lightly sticky. Not too shabby! Friday, March 11, 2016
mathieuc	3.2 Haut St-Jean R de Glace Pours a clear golden with nice long legs. Nose is pretty tame but still offers some apple sauce covered in alcohol. Taste is lightly acidic and lightly bitter. Alcohol, light tart apples and brown sugar. Good level of sugar. Some oxidation. Medium bodied and pretty sticky and syrupy. A bit unrefined but not horrible by any mean. Just not a showstopper. Thursday, March 10, 2016
mathieuc	2.7 Les Roy de la Pomme Clair de Lune Pours a clear raspberry juice red with very faint legs. Scratch that, no legs. Nose is of raspberry jam and strawberries. Taste is more slightly tart fruit juice with almost no cider character. Body is light and mouthfeel quite watery. Meh... one and done that’s for sure. Thursday, March 10, 2016
tom10101	3 Haut St-Jean R de Glace 2 oz sample from bottle at home. Thanks to czar for this one! Clear bright golden, leaving little legs on the glass. Aroma is boozier than most ice ciders and it has notes of overripe aples, brown sugar and pineapples. Taste is sweet but also quite boozy which doesn’t leave much place to the apples. There’s a mild to moderate acidity alongside cardboard-ish notes and mild tropical notes. Medium body. Oily mouthfeel. Warming, borderline burning finish. Totally lacks the refinement that makes most ice ciders so enjoyable. Raw and boozy. Subpar. Tuesday, March 8, 2016
SlovakSniper	2.6 Haut St-Jean R de Glace Un nez de pommes oxydées, brunes et même en légère décomposition. Un goût qui apporte du sucre pour camoufler l’absence de profondeur de cette production. Une finale très douce, presque trop. Sans finesse mais aussi sans grande catastrophe. Tout simplement rien pour me plaire. Tuesday, March 8, 2016
SlovakSniper	1.3 Les Roy de la Pomme Pomera Un nez de colle de menuisier. Quoi?!? Un goût d’érable et d’alcool blanc. Une finale chaude. Un corps mince. Une chance que la robe est belle. Un échec. Tuesday, March 8, 2016
SlovakSniper	3 Haut St-Jean Pleine Lune Le taux d’alcool plus soutenu secoue les arômes de fraises et de framboises. Ici, rien ne me semble artificiel. Au goût, les fruits rouges et l’acool camouflent les pommes. J’aurais aimé une présence plus affirmée du fruit du verger. Après tout, il s’agit d’un cidre de pommes. Un point bonis pour son caractère asséchant. Pas mal. Tuesday, March 8, 2016
SlovakSniper	3.7 Les Roy de la Pomme Campagnola Rosé Rouge comme une framboise un peu vieille. Une feuille de mousse rose est formée. Au nez, notes de vin blanc et de pommes à travers une très belle construction naturelle de la framboise. Une belle confiture ajustée par des notes acidulées. En bouche, le début d’une pomme en cuir qui se colle à une petite baie qui me semble être encore pendu à la branche de son arbrisseau. Au palais, les bulles se calment et la texture demeure huileuse. En finale, tout est en fruit, très chair de framboise, celle qui n’est pas tout à fait mûre, justement acidulée, avec une touche de ce qui m’apparaît comme une pointe de levures sauvages. Monday, March 7, 2016
SlovakSniper	2 Les Roy de la Pomme Clair de Lune Rouge comme un jus de fruits mélangés. Un nez de punch aux fruits des champs. Assez artificiel merci. Au goût, un rasade de vin blanc sans la marque véritable des fruits utilisés pour la fabrication de ce cidre qui n’en est pas un. Je passe. Monday, March 7, 2016
czar	3.6 Les Roy de la Pomme Campagnola Rosé pours clear bright red-purple with nice small bubbles upon swirling. fresh and bright red apples and raspberries, apple jelly, raspberry coulis without its sweetness; lightly tart berries, lightly astringent skin, light acidity - citric but also lactic, blue cheese for instance; woodsy leafiness, hint of vanilla, clean yeast. moderate carbonation - small yet prickly bubbles; light body; dry, gently tart and lightly astringent herbal-leafy finish. very nice raspberry cider.
