This fresh, crisp acidic wine has a deceiving aroma of baked apples, quince and spice. Made with 5 different varieties of apples and 3 different varieties of pears, this wine shows a lot of complexity. On the palate it is very crisp and dry with a spicy pear finish.

Sort of a dark golden colour. Long since devoid of all carbonation; that would change it. Dessert apple aroma with a light spice. Soft body, sweet clean apples. Plenty of sugar, but drinks light for the style. Relatively straightforward for the style but it's good.

Poured from leftover mini container (thanks fiulijn). Clear gold with no head. Perfumey sweet stewed apple, not real complexity, but it's fine.

Pours with excellent foam and a stormy clear gold body, strong chewy sweet apple on the nose that bears no indication of its high alcohol. Flavour is deep sweet apple, sugary but tart, with a hint of bitter skin at the end though it's tempered by the sweetness. Also ends up quite dry on the tongue. Not bad at all, a little sweet and simple but nice for a dessert digestif.

375ml hottle at Matt’s. Pours clear golden with no head. Aroma is fermented caramel apple, similar to parfumes. Taste is the same. Quite pleasant, not bad.

Pale yellow color. Not much aroma, the flavor is a bit better, it’s sweet, fresh, fruity, appley.
Pleasant drink, don’t expect an Ice Cider profile.

Bottle - Sweet candy like apple. Pale straw. Light sweet lemon and Apple. Sweet and refreshing, but not a good ice cider.

Bottle sampled at Rustic Roots, pours a clear blonde with a few bubbles. Aroma brings out lots of honey, baked apples and cinnamon. Flavour isn't exactly ice cider like or overly complex, with lots of syrupy apple sweetness, baked apples, and cinnamon. Very thick on the palate, almost syrup like. Not a superior ice cider; unusual, but it works to some extent.
