Mucho thanks to BDR. Copper color. Aroma like freshly peeled and grated apples. Super thick and viscous body. Monstrously sweet apple flavor. Honey, vanilla and enough spiceiness to hint at your typical apple pie spices, but not enough to make me think they are actually added to this. Light tartness on the finish keeps it from being a completely sweet deal. Just absolutely delicious.

Thanks to Jon for this nice housewarming/anniversary present. The look is organge to amber in color and has nice legs. The smell is apple juice, fruits, very nice, some spices, and light creaminess. The taste is wood, alcohol, very warming, fruits, heavy apple, vaniall, and creamy. Very nice.

This is incredible. An amazing aroma of apples with a sweet, sauterne like quality of dried apricots. Vanilla joins the apricot and apples in the syrupy sweet body.

Congrats travita on the new house. Amber in color with beautiful legs that still cling to the glass 5 minutes or so after taking a sip. Aroma is of apple, pear, vanilla, wood and cinnamon. Taste is of caramel, butterscotch, butter, apples, cinnamon, vanilla, and alcohol. Smooth on the palate and easy to drink and savor.

Wow. Sampled this at the cidery in Quebec with my girlfriend, and ended up splitting a $45 bottle of this with her after tasting it! Pours darker orange than Neige, and aroma is a luxurious tropical fruit blend. Flavor is remarkably suggestive of pinneapple, lychee, and ripe apple. My girlfriend also said it reminded her of Lilikoi (passion fruit). Texture is thick and finish is long. Just a beautiful drink of balance, robust flavor, and gorgeous aesthetic.

2006 version from PUB’N. Pours dark straw toward copper with minimal head. Nose is heavy granny smith apples, honey, earthy notes. Tastes smooth, like a strong mead mixed with fresh, ground-up granny smith aplles topped with honey, and with fine wine infused into the mix. The flavor here transcends what one might believe possible with a cider, but tasting and smelling is believing. This one is a :once in a lifetimne experience", and I thank PUB’N for the chance to quaff this one.

A 375 ml bottle shared by BDR pours a clear dark golden amber still cider with a syrupy texture that sticks to the glass side. Aroma of sweet Delicious style apples, a hint of caramel, vanilla, and some smooth oak. Taste is full bodied, syrupy, sweet as sin, flavors of sweet red apples, caramel, some floral herbs, and a touch of sugar. Finish continues a thick texture with some mild tartness at first and then a sweet apple aftertaste. Absolutely phenomenal.

Pours a deep amberish orange color with no head whatsoever. The body is very still, thick, and viscous. The aroma is incredible of fresh red delicious apples, baked apples, and the sweet sugar from the freezing process. It is unbelievable how many apples that squeezed into this bottle. I just want to smell this forever. The flavor is just as amazing with the blend of red apples, baked apples, and any other apple imaginable with the sweet sugar coating it all. A very thick and viscous mouthfeel coates the entire palate with the apple sweetness. The finish is long, smooth and sweet with the sugar glazed apples and the perfect warming from the alcohol left behind. It just goes down so smooth leaving you wanting more until the last drop. This is the epitome of an Ice Cider as it is simply amazing stuff. Worth every penny.
