CapFlu (3292), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Dec 31, 2006 (375ml bottle) Purchased at Marché des Saveurs, Montreal for $26. Gorgeous appearance of brown sugar deepened into apple cider. Nose is somewhat burnt with an aged apple core aroma. Flavour is beautiful - alcoholic, sweet, tart, peppery. I love the freshness. Unparalleled. Deserves a ranking in the Quebec greats of this cider style.
Oakes (6853), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Dec 31, 2006 Bright, light amber colour. Fresh apple aroma, with light nutmeg. Crazy tart apples with decadent sugar & spice. A little gingery at the end. Fair bit of tartness, especially for a Face Cachee, and this lends an interesting crispness to the usually sugar & spice goodness.
