FRO Throwdown: My first ice cider and perhaps the winner of the throwdown for me! Bright gold. Still. Huge bright sour apple nose, intense. Intensely focused apple flavors, sweet, light tart. Just like a laser beam of apple goodness. Wow.

Sent in a picture to be uploaded. Pours a thick clear gold with thickish legs. Aroma of must, cinnamon, apple and baking chocolate. Taste is very sweet (border line cloying), syrupy with a long duration. A bit of cocoa and sticky caramel as well. Well hidden alcohol, although with all the sugar it comes across a touch medicinal. Still very good tasting though. So thick and syrupy that it is nearly chewy. At $16 per 375ml this is quite a bargain when placed next to the slightly more complex and rounded La Face Ice Ciders.
