Poured from 375mL bottle (side by side with Union Libre Cidre de Glace). Clear yellow amber with no head. Mild stewed apples, feint acidity. Lacks the complexity of a great iced cider.

375ml (thx, Mathieu P.!) @ Ryan's after kids' time. 13.5% ABV. Appearance: clear golden. Aroma: nice sweet and a bit acidic red apples, a bit of booze. Taste: along the same lines, red apples, moderately sweet, some noticeable acidity, some apple skins and seeds. The more I drink it, the more it's getting to the wine territory to my taste. Overall: pretty nice and enjoyable, but definitely not an overly complex product.

375mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden with a few bubbles. Aroma brings out notes of caramels, stewed apples and some light smoke. Flavour is a lovely mix of caramel, stewed red apples, a little smoke, and lovely warming effect. Complex and with so many layers. Phenomenal stuff.

Corked bottle, 12% ABV
Golden color, bright. Nice aroma, not as intense as an Ice Cider, but it goes in that direction. Moderate sweetness, moderate body strength, the acidity is quite high; apple juice flavor, but without the stewed apple or caramel depth of an Ice Cider. Mild final astringency.
Very good drink.

Bottle - Soft Apple candy like notes. No tanninsand not clocked but candied red apple. Clear gold. Dark and sweet caramel candy apples. Quite different than most ice ciders, but pleasantly so.

Golden colour, no head. The aroma is sweet white sugar and apples. On the palate, sweet, and soft. Very much like apple juice, with a fair bit of sugar, and with just a touch of caramel. Nice, quality cider.

Sample in front of Marche Bonsecours in the Old Port. A bit of heat and somewhat rough but nice enough.
