Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Huge thanks for sharing this rare and expensive little gem. The still body is a thick, viscous, golden-orange honey color. The aroma is that of pure apple essence, as condensed and concentrated as can possibly be. It can only be described as the freshest apple juice you have ever encountered, painstakingly reduced to the nth degree. The flavor is inconceivably perfect, like a million fresh apples that have been crushed in the dead of winter, in the middle of the unadulterated wilderness, and somehow crammed into a tiny package. A thick, oily body glides over the tongue, effortlessly delivering the sweet apple goodness to each and every corner of the mouth. Finishes long and sweet, with the absolutely perfect amount of alcoholic heat. This represents the absolute pinnacle of the ice cider classification, and perhaps the dessert beverage genre as a whole. Simply outstanding!

Sep 19, 2008 Bottle at home with mesandsim, from the most awsome trader ever, the cheeseman. Aroma is like super ripe apple sauce, honey straght from the hive of apples openly toasted over a fire at a german market. Taste is just a dream, its immencly sweet but the spple dryness manages to hold it back and make it possibly one of the most drinkable things iv ever tasted. A 500ml bottle is not enough for me alone, so sharing it was 3 other people was like "I SOO NEED TO GET MORE OF THIS!"

Sep 11, 2008 Pours yellow and oily with a nice neck. Smells of sweet apples and boozy with some excellent spicy character. Tastes sweet and well balanced with some touches of appley goodness that yields dryness, tartness and crispness at once.

Aug 23, 2008 A Mes rate: bottle, HUGE thanks to our Magic.
Big respect to Tom for doing this properly and freezing it first. This is ice cider. Bright orange and very thick. Very very special indeed. Incredible apple aroma. Spice a plenty, sweet as hell and loads of fruit. Those apples are just amazing. Amazing toffee notes in the flavour. Ok you piss taking set of bastards (Tom & Sim) I mean candy apple. Lashings of custard. This is, as Tom describes, like apple pie and custard without the pastry. Big tarty apple bite with plenty of sharp acidty that rather than lingering in the background is brought rushing to the front carried by the alcohol. Darker than the Neige and like a bigger badder brother. A bloody amazing experience that brings back all the fantasticness of last time I tried this stunning nectar.

Aug 14, 2008 Many thanks to Glouglouburp for this amazing bottle. Unlike anything I have ever had before. Aroma is mainly apples, but the taste was much more complex. There was an upfront taste of blue cheese followed by sweet apples, and apricot. Truely amazing. I would like to get more of this unique cider from Quebec.

Apr 5, 2008 375ml. bottle thanks a million to Glouglouburp. Crystal clear golden orange color, obviously still, with nice legs. Beautiful aroma of baked apples, especially the skins, with a hint of cinnamon and honey. Flavor was sweet apples, honey, floral notes and a mild warming alcohol finish. Not as pure an apple flavor as the Neige, but a bit more complex and not as sweet. Delicious! Thanks Dany!
