Flavor - medium/high sweetness, applesauce, apricot, honey. Almost lightly spiced, as of cinnamon, nutmeg? Thick almost syrupy consistency.

| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | May 3, 2009 2003 bottle from a trade last year (I seem to have lost my note about who its from). Beautiful golden color with some serious legs after swirling the glass. Strong, sweet apple aromas, with lots of apricot, peach, and honey. Flavor is wonderfully sweet with lots of thick apples, honey, apricots, and more "Sweetness". Fantastic feel with wonderful tannins and acidity. Nearly liquid heaven. Awesome. michael-pollack (2739), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 31, 2009 Bottled @ Jbrus’. Aroma has apple (well duh..) some raisin. Clear, copper coloured with no head The cider sticks to the glass. The taste is quite sticky sweet, with apple juice all over the place. Good for dessert. Not as impressed as with the Neige. jbrus (4895), Delft, Netherlands
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 31, 2009 Bottle@Home. Nice stuff but I preferred the Neige a lot more. It does give you the feeling of apple essence but it’s a bit too sweet and not much more than the apple. jerohen (1615), Bussum, Netherlands
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 30, 2009 Tasting session at jbrus. Bottled. Clear orange-brown coloured. Strong and pure apple nose. Extremely sweet and fruity flavour, alcoholic. A nice dessert-wine alternative. bierkoning (6099), La Tropica, Netherlands
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 30, 2009 Bottle @ jbrus’s place. The essence of apples and apple dumplings in the aroma. Extremely sweet flavor, but that doesn’t bother me too much, because a strong fruity sourness provides some compensation. A very intense and delicious drink, but I’d prefer a world class beer above this.
