Cider House Collection #2: Inspired by the tradition of Ice Ciders in Quebec, Canada, Iceman uses the process of freezing the juice from culinary and bittersweet apples to produce a rich, complex and unique cider with a crisp apple taste and notes of caramel and toffee. This cider is sweet but not cloying. The addition of oak-aging yields a smooth and pleasing vanilla character. The result is a perfectly balanced, full-flavored cider that delights the palate with clean apple notes and a lingering toffee finish.

Dink pour from Dewar's WhiteLabel microbottle @ 🏡 Appearance: clear copper with no head. Aroma: sweet, tannins, some booze, a little spice. Taste: along the same lines, moderately acidic and sweet. Overall: pretty pleasant drink.

Poured from some bottle into a small container and shared (thanks Fiujlijn). Clear copper gold. Fairly sweet apple skin, not a ton of complexity or depth, but decent.

(Bottle) Reddish amber colour with brief bubbly head. Fruity, slightly sourish nose with red apples, caramel, apple crumble, toffee, cranberries and hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Fruity taste with notes of red apples, caramel, toffee, vanilla, cinnamon, red berries, wood and a vinous and sweetish finish with a slight harshness/bitterness coming through. Full body, quite sweet. Sweet, but not overly sweet, with a nice tangy acidity balancing the sweetness. Excellent and highly drinkable ice cider. Very nice.

Bottle at cider pairing dinner with Ryan Burk at The Bookshop, Hereford, as Angry Orchard Ice Cider. Paired with baked apple parfait, hazelnut crumble, poached apple and salted caramel. After numerous ciders this evening it got to the point where it seemed perfectly natural to drizzle this ice cider all over the desert. Incredible, why have I not done this before? Clear gold appearance, rich stewed apple nose. Not overly sweet to taste, allowing plenty of fruity nuances to shine through. Good ice cider.

Dark amber. This has a mellow apple nose, and on the palate it's more tart, like a strong cider, but with quite a bit more sugars. Still, it does not truly resemble an ice cider. No sugary depth. It's not bad or anything, just not near the height of the style.

Bottle from Cost Plus World Market. Love this place. Seeing magnums of Anchor Christmas stocked alongside inappropriate clearance holiday ornaments, ...it really makes my day. Clear, golden orange body. Very frothy. Unusual. Smell is thin, bitter sharp, acidic & toasty. Taste is rich, but incredibly sharp. Buttery, plainly tannic, intensely tart. Lingering tartness, oh does it ever. Difficult. So sweet, so sharp. Not a lot of complexity from the apples. Hidden alcohol. Just a bomb. Hope this stays well in the fridge, because I can’t come close to finishing my glass.

Bottle. A- Apple juice, white wine, subtle vanilla. A- Amber color, clear liquid, minimal white head. T- Apple juice, white wine. P- Light body, average texture, high carbonation, slightly sweet finish. O- Okay, just glad to get my ice cider tick. Didn’t taste much different from a normal cider other than seemingly boozier. If this is a very good representation of the style. I’ll be okay with having this one only.
