mcberko	4 Val Caudalies Cidre de Glace Réserve 2007 vintage. 375mL bottle, pours a dark caramel brown. Aroma is on the earthier and spicier side for an ice cider, with earthy red apples, treacle toffee, caramel and brown sugar. Flavour is similar, with a spicier and earthier red apple character, moderate treacle and brown sugar. Not the deepest or most complex ice cider, but I like the earthier character upfront, which then transitions to treacle. Very good. Thursday, March 23, 2017

tom10101	3.6 Val Caudalies Pomme - Framboise How: Bottle (750 ml) shared at Mont-Carmel tasting. Bought at the cidery. >>> A mild cider with an interesting fresh raspberries presence. Really easy drinking and quenching. - Clear pale salmon color with a thin ring of white foam. - There’s a mild but enticing fresh raspberries presence in both aroma and taste, but it’s a bit more interesting in taste with the moderate acidity carrying it a bit more. - Not complex at all, but super refreshing and easy drinking/quenching. - Apple presence is so delicate that it’s barely noticeable. - Light body, good carbonation and rather dry finish. Flavors: Mild raspberries, herbal notes, very mild apples. Sunday, August 30, 2015
mathieuc	3.5 Val Caudalies Pomme - Framboise Pours a medium pink with no or at least very small legs. Nose is of light apples with a slight soft drink feel to it. Taste is of apples that’s for sure and red berries. Body is light to medium and carbonation medium-high. A little sticky and sweet. Overall a fun drink, not much bad to be said about it. Tuesday, August 25, 2015

Taste is of alcohol, sugar, tartness, some acidity. Palate: Full bodied. No carbonation. Overall: Quite nice. Well preserved. Nice balance. Wednesday, July 22, 2015
mcberko	3.9 Val Caudalies Cidre Liquoreux Bottle, courtesy of Ferris (thanks man), pours a clear blonde with a few bubbles for a head. Aroma is quite sweet, with candied sugar, caramel and toffee -- smells like a cross between a regular sweet cider and ice cider. Flavour confirms this hybrid, with caramel, candied sugar, apple skins, and a very pleasant alcohol burn. Really cohesive and quite complex. This is really well put together. Excellent. Monday, July 6, 2015
JulienHuxley	3.5 Val Caudalies Cidre de Glace Réserve Sample, 2007, as réserve d’éol. Crystal clear copper pour. Aroma is funky, old caramelized apple, oxidized notes, cardboard, some light grassy notes, dusty, boozy. Taste is moderately sweet, pretty strong acidity, lots of apple skin, light oaky tannins, sherry notes. Palate is full bodied, lots of alcohol warmth. Decent. It does seem like it has some age, but I’m not sure how this influences it really as I’ve had ice ciders that were way older and held up much better and regularly rate ice ciders in the same range. I’ll have to give it a shot fresh just to make sure. Tuesday, June 30, 2015
fiulijn	3.3 Val Caudalies Cidre Liquoreux Courtesy of Ferris, corked bottle, 10% ABV, bb 2013 Blond color. Sweetish apple aroma. The flavor is better, not reaching the depth of Ice Ciders, but it’s nice, fresh, sweet; the acidity is on the low side. Sunday, June 28, 2015
mathieuc	3.6 Val Caudalies Cidre de Glace Réserve 2007 vintage. Pours a clear dark golden with no real legs. Nose is of apple, brown sugar, alcohol with a light "green" character. Taste is moderately sweet and tart, of concentrated apples with a little brown sugar. Flavor isn’t as long lasting as your usual ice cider and it ends a bit abruptly which is slightly unsettling. Still, not a disaster. Alcohol is nowhere to be found in the taste. Body is medium-medium-full and vaguely liquorous and sticky. Overall a fair ice cider, a bit subpar when compared to others though. Saturday, June 27, 2015
czar	3.1 Val Caudalies Cidre de Glace Réserve sample. 2007 harvest as ’’réserve d’école". clear amber, burnt orange tint, with some legs when swirling. spicy brown sugar, caramelized spicy red apples, buttery berries and raisins, brandy, burnt/flambéed calvados, very disturbing garbagy rotten fruits aroma - oxidation perhaps; hint of tartness, red caramel glazed apples. flat carbonation, medium-full body - syrupy; sweet, woodsy and spicy finish. interesting red caramel toffee apple feature but obviously and unfortunately oxidized. Saturday, June 27, 2015
Ferris	3.6 Val Caudalies Cidre Liquoreux Bottle - Rich cooked apples. Clear gold. Light spice, nice apple, cooked or sweet overripe and a bit of acidity and bitter peel in the finish. Monday, June 15, 2015
tom10101	3.7 Val Caudalies Cidre de Glace Réserve 2 oz sample from bottle (375 ml). As "Réserve d’Éole". 2007 Harvest. Appearance: Clear bright golden-orange with little alcohol legs. Aroma: Brown sugar, caramelized apples, honeyed notes, tannins and mild solvent-like presence. Taste: It’s quite sweet - like most ice ciders are - but this one isn’t balanced by much acidity and feel sweeter that ice ciders normally do. Brown sugar and caramel and the dominant features along caramelized apples, mild acidity, Palate: Medium body (not heavy despite the sweetness). Oily mouthfeel. Brown sugar and caramelized apples finish. A bit of alcohol warmth. Overall: Decent complexity, but not my kind of ice cider as I think it lacks of cohesion a bit. Too sweet, not acidic enough and a bit "off"... but it’s not bad at all. Sunday, June 14, 2015
brokensail	3.6 Val Caudalies Cidre Liquoreux Bottle @ Mondial des Cidres de Glace 2015. Clear golden colored cider. Some peach, tart citrus, and lots of tropical fruit aromas. A bit of tart green apple as well. Slight fruit infused tea on the tongue. Sweet apple, caramel, and tropical fruits. Less acidic than I’d hope, particularly given the nose. Nice overall. Wednesday, March 11, 2015
brokensail	3.7 Val Caudalies Cidre de Glace Réserve Bottle @ Mondial des Cidres de Glace 2015. Clear orange color. Lots of sugar, caramel, and honey. Pretty peachy and heavy on apple jelly. A bit of brown sugar. Very mild acidity to the flavor. A bunch of apple jelly, peach preserves, and some orange zest. Pretty heavy on caramel. Good, not amazing. Too sweet. Sunday, February 22, 2015

jredmond	3.8 Val Caudalies Cidre de Glace Réserve Bottle sampled at Marche des Saveurs in Montreal with Andrew, Brendan, Ricky, PJ and Street. Pours a light maple body with no head or lacing. Aroma is faint apple, syrup, light burn and spice. Mouthfeel is medium to syrupy with lots of sugar up front, apples, strawberries, spice and a light wine character. Nice. Friday, January 24, 2014
jredmond	3.7 Val Caudalies Cidre Liquoreux Bottle sampled at Marche des Sauveurs with Andrew, Ricky, PJ, Brendan and Streets. The cidery rep explained this to be similar to their flagship ice cider, except with 50% of the sugar. While still pretty sweet, the reduction in sugar is evident in the semi-dry character which balances the sweet, tart apple flavors. Some white wine character as well. Nice. Friday, January 24, 2014
jercraigs	3.8 Val Caudalies Cidre de Glace Réserve 2013-07-27. Dark amber body, syrupy body, headless. Flavour is quite sweet and lightly syrupy, tart acidity and then a healthy dose of tannic apple skins. Acidity comes out a bit more as it warms up. 7+ Lightly musty aroma, tannic skins, apple must, whispers of straw. 7+ Smooth medium to full bodied palate. 3++ Nice, but just a touch too tannic for my preference. Bottle labelled Reserve d’Eole via trade with cfrancis Tuesday, August 6, 2013
SlovakSniper	3.9 Val Caudalies Cidre de Glace Réserve Une robe dorée. Une viscosité qui apparaît sur la paroi du verre. Un nez de pommes enrobées par le miel et par des sucres caramélisés. Un goût très généreux en douceur. Des fruits du verger qui s’installent avec délicatesse. Un bonbon légèrement acidulé qui roule sur la langue. En bouche, un corps assez gras et une texture enveloppante. En finale, des pommes bien senties à travers une chaleur sucrée. Wednesday, October 17, 2012
SlovakSniper	3.4 Val Caudalies Cidre Liquoreux Un liquide jaune pâle. Un nez léger sur des pommes mielleuses avec de fines odeurs sulfurées. Des saveurs dans lesquelles la douceur et l’acidité tentent une équitable rencontre. Une sensation en bouche qui est loin d’être déplaisante. Un corps presque suave et une texture lisse. Une finale saluée par une acidité bien sentie. Un cidre agréable à boire. Wednesday, October 17, 2012
puzzl	4.1 Val Caudalies Cidre de Glace Réserve 2008 vintage. Weak aroma, doesn’t knock you out like a quality ice cider should; swirling reveals mild macintosh, grass, tangerine. Very balanced, integrated flavor, but doesn’t have the concentration or intensity needed for the top examples of the style. Nice acid, nice sweetness. Solid cider. Thursday, September 22, 2011

A touch of sulfites and some long lingering acid on the finish and a touch of soft sweetness. Amidst all of the ice ciders this came across a bit weak and light, but I tried it again by itself the next day and it was quite pleasant. Wednesday, February 16, 2011
