Brewed by Archibald Orchards and Estate Winery
Style: Cider
Bowmanville, Canada

Bottle (375ml) shared with HogTownHarry, jerc & tupalev -- courtesy of jerc. Pours a clear, oily looking, orange-gold with no head. Really nice aroma of sweet apples and spices. Flavour of sweet apples, light sugar or honey and light spices -- delicious. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium to full bodied. Wow, this is fantastic stuff.

[1328-20080504] Bottle. Smells like apple crumble pie with a cinnamon undertone. Clear, pale yellow body with no head but some thick legs. Lovely apple crumble pie flavour is super sweet but not sickly. Thick medium body. Wow, a great style and blend. (10/3/8/4/16) 4.1

[1522-20080711] 375mL bottle. Apple sweet caramel sauce aroma has lots of apple pie and a sweet floral background with a hint of mint. Clear, watery medium orange body with no head but thick legs. Vanilla ice cream and baked apple pie flavour. Medium body has a slight spicy tang. Wonderfully juicy! (9/3/9/4/17) 4.2

2008-07-11. Rich golden amber body (3+) Aroma is quite sweet with light spice, sweet apple pie character, light apples skins offer a counterpoint to the sweetness. Sweet flavour, apples of a specific kind that I cannot put my finger on, muted honey like sweet moments, tart glimpse of apples is glorious but eventually degenerates into a more pedestrian apple skin character. (8+) Rich syrupy medium to full bodied palate. (4+) Caught me at the right moment I guess, i really enjoyed this one. Bottle from Archibalds

Bottle (375ml - clear). Shared by mabel with blankboy, gregclow, jerc & tupalev. Clear pale amber, minimal head. Overripe red apple aroma with an overriding aroma of ......... Deep Woods Off? Taste - amazing - exactly like baked alaskan, hint of toffee - great. Sticky, tart, simply tasty and strong but not overwhelming.

Bottle sample at a "Locavore"/Slow Food dinner and social at Montgomery’s Inn. Rich golden colour with a very still body. Sweet and sticky mouthfeel. Fantastic aroma and flavour of sweet baked apples, cinnamon and cloves. Like fresh baked apple pie in liquid form, except with a boozy kick in the finish. Beautiful!
