2003 bottle from Cold Storage, KLCC. Pours with a bright bronze colour. The aroma has some apple depth, food appley, with oats and cinnamon - apple crumble instead of apple pie! The taste is appley first, with some good tartness for balance (I like tartness in an ice cider sometimes). The finish, however, has a bit too much alcohol. It is not as soft and warming as your typical ice cider, perhaps because it’s for the Asian market? Still a fair amount of stickiness, but not as rich as some ice ciders.
