The color is golden with dull hue. Aroma of mature apples, hazelnuts. Sweet, moderate syrupy thickness, but the acidity balances it; flavor of mature and stewed apples, some mulled wine spice, quite rich if not overly complex, with mild astringency in the final.
Very good.

375ml bottle at Matt's. Pours a clear golden with no head. Aroma is red rape apples. Same taste with moderate to high level of sweetness and apple acidity. Very nice.

375mL bottle, pours a clear golden with no head. Aroma brings out lots of caramel, toffee, green apple, and brown sugar. Flavour is medium sweet, with brown sugar, toffee, caramel and a touch of green apple. Not the most complex ice cider, but it's certainly true to style. Very nice.

Golden colour. The nose is baked apples, some spices (the usual nutmeg and cinnamon you get with ice ciders) and of course some sugars. Sweet, sticky, with some acid in the finish. Not bad - not super complex but has all the basic elements of the style.

Sampled at a Farmer’s Market in Ithaca. Fine this very sweet. Well made dessert cider, no flaws detected, but just too sweet for my personal preference.

2019 bottling: Same nose, very sweet, fattier body, somewhat less acid that creates an imbalance. 3.5. 2011 bottle from the Union Square Greenmarket stand. Shared with family after Christmas din din. 3.9. Brandy glass. Vibrant, clear glossy gold body. Lemon honey & caramel apple nose. Taste is more honey, but now with a bit of rum & red apple tartness. Sweet wood. High acid. Lurking spice. A bit buttery going down. Lingering lemon honey finish. Thinner then expected. Past bottles of this have been flabby. Maybe it’s just the aging, but this one drank pretty solidly.
