Drank at the salon des métiers d’arts 06. Gold color, fuzzy and a light apple taste makes it a really good and refreshing drink. I would buy a bottle anytime.

Échantillon au Salon des Métiers d’Arts 06. Jaune claire avec des bulles. Arome de pomme fraiche. Goût de pomme doux, assez pétillant.

Bottle from Rastacouere - thanks. This dark golden cider poured with sufficient carbonation to produce a thin layer of tiny bubbles at the top of the glass. The aroma is fruity and sweet. I found the flavor to be quite sweet and syrupy (compared to other ciders I have tried) and there was a noticeable alcohol finish. This a bold straightforward cider that is easy to drink.

Sampled at Mondial 2006. The body is dark gold with a few bubbles. The aroma is fairly sweet. Some peaches and a little bit of honey. The mouthfeel is fairly sharp with a little bite. The taste is simple with some tart apple candy character.

Bottle: Poured a sparkling golden color cider. Sweet apples are easily recognisable with some alcohol also detectable in the background. Mouthfeel could more syrupy and I would have appreciated a bit more sweetness. I’m not so sure I like the idea of sparkling ice cider and therefore I still prefer the regular version to this.

Bottle. Golden yellow in colour, small bubbles, alcohol legs. Aroma of red apples, brown sugar, some vanilla and slightly sweet. Flavour of apples, sugar, some light sweetness and light alcohol. Rich syupy mouthfeel, slightly dry. Finishes lingering, slightly sweet. Very nice.

A novel idea it is to carbonate a bold and sweet ice cider, and it obviously works out pretty well for Pinnacle...Still as full-bodied as the regular Cidre de Glace on which it is based, but I feel like the carbonation just masks some of the intricacies of the apple pie sweetness...Don’t get me wrong, this is really flavorful, but side-by-side with their regular ice cider, I thought this one was not as transparent in its flavors...Maybe it is easier to drink though for those who aren’t too keen on their Cidre de Glace’s dominant sweetness...Other than that, it has the same flavor profile as its regular counterpart...

Concentrated brown sugar and lightly bitter apple skins in the aroma. Clear golden-copper with excellent viscosity - coats the sides of the glass. Apple skins, browned pulp, brown sugar, honey, vanilla flavours mingle freely and leave a lasting sweetness on the tongue. Somewhat sticky and syrupy though perhaps served just a bit warm but the carbonation brings out the apple flavours magnificently. Sampled at Mondial de la Bière 2005.
