La Face Cachée de la Pomme Frimas Ice Cider

Brewed by La Face Cachée de la Pomme
Style: Ice Cider
Hemmingford, Canada

Bottle. Pours a honey colored body with nice warming legs running up the sides of the glass. Luscious liquid caramelized malted apples, honey, tart and sweet apple skins with a final pollen honey note. A fantastic ice cider.

Bottle pours clear orange color with no carbonation. This is done to style. Aroma is sweet apple. Luscious mouthfeel. Flavor is sweet apple cider in a glass with a nice warmth. Alcohol is not detected here and the sweetness is not cloying at all. As far as ice ciders go this is perfection in a bottle. This was tasted at a beer and food pairing. It was paired deliciously with aged cheddar. Yum!

It was cheese who brought this gift. It wasn’t cheap, not bought at the thrift. Apples galore in the nose. Delicious enough to warrant prose. With a smile I say to cheese a huge thanks. And for another bottle I would certainly walk the plank. Cheers.

October ‘09 O-Town Throwdown. Another huge cheer to Cheeseman for bringing this bottle. Never thought cider could be so tasty and really enjoyed every single sip. ’04 bottle, ltd # 8133 Pours amber./ orange, syrupy/oily in texture. Aroma and flavor, just loaded with apple. Not hints of being 11.5%, gorgeous syrupy eye candy. Harvested frozen on the tree in winter.

Tasted at Otown Throwdown courtesy Cheeseman. Thick copper pour. Sweet apple aroma, not sugary more like apple pie. Thick sweet apple taste, not cloying. Taste is remarkably light for something so thick. Absolutely awesome.

I can imagine that this is what felating God would taste like.

2002 bottle. Aroma of rich cognac, baked apples, and a myriad of tropical fruits. A little hot on the tongue but when drank like a good, neat scotch, this thing is sublime. Rich waves of fine cognac, incredibly dense apples, mangoes, guavas coat the palette. A zesty grapefruit-like presence can also be found, which is a quality totally absent from the cidery’s other offerings. Thich and incredibly rich. Concentrated apple sugars in a blissful package. A slow sipper for sure, best out of a small snifter I find, and in small doses.

Shared by Thickfreakness. Thanks! Pours like apple juice. Smell is apple juice, apple syrup and a touch of alcohol perhaps. Taste is very smooth and apple and honey like without a cloying sweetness. Very easy drinking. Concentrated apple flavor without super sweetness, and a light warming character from the alcohol. Good stuff.
