Icing is a method used widely in wine-making, and now introduced to cider from our beautiful Devon orchards. During the specialist process the cider apple juice becomes intensified, sweeter and richer. The powerful warmth and rich complexity match perfectly the floral bouquet and sweet apple finish.

Big sweet flavour with loads of ripe, gooey apples, lightly toasted sugars, mellow berry accents, some toffee. A little dry apple skin note. Medium to full bodied, oily and chewy, soft. Warming finish, with further puréed ripe apples, smooth toffee. Great stuff overall.

Bottled at SBWF. Clear golden/amber, still. Fruity medicinal nose. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Chalky and peppery, fruity and syrupy. Disharmonious burning sweetness. Medicinal finish.

Note based rating. Hope to improve on it in the future:Bottle @ Sthlm Beer 2016. Tiny hazy pale golden pour with subtle legs. Very dry with fairly harsh cider apples. Intense with a light alcohol burn. Cool but I prefer the sweet ice ciders.
