COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An early Eden ice cider aged for 7 years in one used French oak barrel. Sweet, gently oxidized, it has beautifully integrated acidity (think Oloroso or fine Madeira)/ We bottled this last month after our distributors begged us to do it, and we served it at a dinner in NYC last month with various luminaries to great acclaim. Only 600 bottles. Limit 2 per person, we’re including one in this shipment.

Bottle shared by AdamChandler, much thanks!! The flavor and the aroma are a direct reflection of each other. Savoy sweet apples without and sugar. Finishes on mild oak and maybe every a slight sour/ tart note. The oak and tart note balance out the sweet apples. This is extremely enjoyable.

Dark reddish brown. Loads of alcohol legs. Smells of apple butter, ginger and pear. Loads of honey. Peter spice and sweet baked apple. Little cherry as well. Taste, wow. Delicious. Insanely sweet without being cloying. Raspberry and cherry and lemon sour. Wow. This is loaded. Holy crap. Sweet almost sour. Brown sugar. Cheery finish This is an incredible cider. Eden is making the best ice sider south of Quebec.

_angst_ (5019) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - SEP 30, 2016
Bottle received through the Eden Ice Cider club. Pours clear deep amber leaving some thick legs on the glass with a swirl. Smell is intense with a ripe complex mix of sweet apples, caramel, toffee, raisins, prunes, leather, moist wood, black cherries and calvados. Taste is sweet, sour and heavy fruity. Mouthfeel is soft, viscous, oily, round, tart, tiny tannic astringent, slightly boozy and near full bodied. Finish is sweet and sour with complex oxidized apples and raisins, overripe citrus fruits, caramel, wood, leather, soil and calvados. Crazy rich and intense. Oxidized in a fine sherry way. Unbelievably complex... Wow!

ineedbeer (3876) - California, USA - JUL 18, 2016
Poured from a 375 ml bottle. Aroma is full of rich apple notes with some light tannins. Medium oak notes. A light spiced apple notes. Light oxidation with honey and caramel notes. Pours a clear, dark copper color with some amber hues and no head. No lacing and sheets of alcohol with long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with lots of apple notes. Some moderate alcohol notes with some spice character. Quite a bit of caramel and light honey notes. Moderate oak notes. Lots of red apple with some lighter apple skin tannins. Mouthfeel is full bodied with no carbonation. Low astringency and medium alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright cider but it lacks a bit of the rich complexity that the better ice ciders have. Nice apple notes. Sweet, but not over the top. Oak is fairly prevalent. A bit less impressive than I expected.
