Tasting at Matt's, corked bottle
Beautiful, luminous, copper colour. Strong smell of spices, mulled wine. Good body strength, moderately sweet; stewed apples, spices, quite strong acidity, and also quite evident astringency; the alcohol is quite evident too.
Good,

Very tall 500ml @ Matt's new place. Appearance: clear copper with no head. Aroma: sweet concentrated apples, some apple seeds, and a bit of spice. Taste: along the same lines, a bit more acidic than Ice Ciders usually. Overall: good one.

500mL bottle, pours a clear gold bronze, no head. Aroma is rich, with lots of winter spices, stewed apples, and toffee apple. Flavour tastes less spicy than the nose suggested, with stewed apples, some tartness, light toffee, and brown sugar. Moderately tart, moderately sweet, lightly spicy. The spiced aspect works pretty well, though I'd still prefer this without the spices. More tart than the average ice cider. Good, but far from my favourite of the style.

Amber. Lots of cinnamon, and nutmeg on the aroma. Sugary, but quite a bit of acidity to it as well. The spices are balanced, fairly appley. raisiny. This is quite good.

Pours light, very clear pale lemon. Scent is full, apple concentrate, but less sweet. More 'green' (twig) character than other ice ciders tend to have. Taste is sweet, tart apples, some CO2 even. Quite damn lovely ! Simple, but great!

Pours clear, pale blonde. Scent is full, intense sweet apple purity. Taste is full, very sweet and cloying, applesauce. Not the depth i'm used to in an apple cider - but still obviously very enjoyable.

2020 bottle, many thanks Nische. Shared after Max' funeral, Rest in Power big guy. Clear pale yellow color with no head. Aroma is minerals, citric, green apples, seems quite dry for an Ice Cider. Taste has amazing balance of green apples, some candied apples, minerals, and some citric flavours. Lieblich-style, not too sweet, really delicate. Amazing balance and drinkability. Love the character, a special one - almost dry Ice Cider, unheard of.

Sample from bottle at Alexander Wines Spring Tasting in Glasgow. Appearance - golden, viscous! Nose - luscious apple, with a pine note lurking. Then honeysuckle and sweet spice. Taste - apple and sweet spice. Luscious again. Palate - medium bodied, sweet, but still retains some freshness. Overall - lovely stuff!
