A pour from 375ml bottle (thanks, Josh!) @ 🏡. Appearance: clear copper. Aroma: honey, some berries. Taste: very tannic, ascorbic notes, bold, astringent. Overall: interesting, but way behind the good ice ciders.

Dark reddish-brown. Actually a nice fiery colour. No head, of course. Pours still, of course. Unexpected aroma, fruity, but as much plum as apple, a little bit phenolic, sort of odd. Seems like it has a touch of heat, light apple, feels mellow. Not much acidity or tannin, but I wouldn't say this has rich sweetness either. Just sweetness, without depth but also not empty, and the alcohol rolls through the finish in almost a scrumpyish way. This is fitting into an odd pocket of dessert cider. I am not sure I know what to make of it.

Poured from 375mL bottle @ Oakes' Chinese lookout. Clear dark ruby red with no head. A bit boozy, crab apple, very feint toffee notes. Like most of Sea Cider's ice ciders, the booze is a bit unbalanced. Okay.

Bottle - Sweet, slightly boozy apple and apricot. Orange gold. Very sweet orange syrup, apple and a sweet and light tart finish. Very sweet and syrupy, the orange and peach notes give it an artificial taste to me.

375 ml. bottle shared by Kraddel during the (Ice) Cider/Perry tasting @ Barely Legal Tasting Room. Thank you! No idea of vintage. Bottle states a whopping 17 % ABV. Small sample. Yet this felt way less alcoholic than quite a few of the othwer way lower ABV ice ciders we had at the tasting. Dark amber. Warming spcies, huge on the candy department in the nose, liquorish & Sirop de Liège. Taste is sweet-sour candy, lots of candy, warming (but not as much as expected, in your throat you can feel the ABV), pure candy & spices taste, warming Sirop de Liège. Different for sure, amazing all the same.

Bottle @ [ Tasting by fiulijn ].Clear medium red orange colour with virtually no head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy apple, spicy apples, sweet apples. Flavour is heavy sweet and light acidic with a long duration, sugary apples, spicy apples, dry. Body is medium to full, texture is syrupy - oily, carbonation is flat, finish feel is light alcoholic. IMO. not complex aroma but very nice flavor and nice dry ;O) [20110926]

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a clear orangey amber. Sweet and syrupy apple aroma with quite some alcohol heat. Solid body, intense apple and vanilla notes, glazed toffee apple notes. The booze is roaring and this actually feels stronger than the 13.3%! Nice, but far from the complexity found in the best ice ciders. 110911
