Bottle. Pours amber. Aroma is light apples, ripe fruit. Body is medium, typically softly acidic, apple flavours, no real carbonation. Good, but not as complex.

Bottle. Hazy golden color with soapy white head. Aroma is apples, cinnamon, pancake. Taste is pancakes, Kaiserschmarren, apple phenols. Oily mouthfeel, flat. Surprisingly boring, probably my least favourite Ice Cider.

2/XII/17 - 37.5cl bottle @ post-Billies Craft Beer Festival tasting, Eugene's place - BB: n/a (2017-2083) Thanks to Eugene for sharing the bottle!

Clear dark amber cider, small aery irregular white head, unstable, non adhesive. aroma: lots and lots of apple juice, sweet sugary apple juice, just that. MF: no carbon, medium to full body (not bad for a 6%). Taste: lots and lots of apple juice, nothing more, a bit acidic and pretty sugary, but just apple juice. Aftertaste: sweet, more apple juice, a hint of vanilla and caramel in the end.

Thnx to Eugene. Pours very muddy, darker blonde. Smell is better though. rich, intense apples, bit sweet. Taste is dry, syrupy apple , appleskins. bit nutty ( an aspect I most enjoy) . pretty messy look, less than average start, but a very nice ending. Re-rate from horeca expo 2019. updated the score.

375 ml. bottle. 80 ml. sample. WORST WAX(?) EVER. You need a knife an it shatters only into tiny pieces so you need to break off bit by pit and it falls everywhere & almost impossible to keep the bits out of the bottle, massive mess. Darker orange than expected. Nose is sweet cloying syrup de Liège apple, extreme sugar, Turkish delight with oddly almost the faintest sourer red apple. Taste is like sugar water, stale, cobwebs, smell is promising but taste is stale old candy, Turkish delight, bit watery, sugar water, too cloying in an empty way, old candy & plastic coats your mouth in the finish. Bit too plain sugar water & candy. Aftertaste is mothballs, grandmother candy,… Frankly quite disappointing, totally overpaid for this. Two way tie for my least favourite ice cider so far out of 35.

75cl bottle. Pours misty gold with a stormy sparkle in the glass that produces a constantly fizzing white head. Aroma of apple orchard funk. Taste is quite light with a nice, desert-like apple fruit sweetness. Drying close. Really nice cidre this.

75cl bottle from madeincalvados.com. Pours a very pale yellow, thin head of bubbles. Once uncaged the cork fires out immediately, almost right through the ceiling! Aroma is faint but noticeable French perry pear fruit. Taste is highly spritzy, clean and light with a drying close. Has a rather delicate character and extremely accessible with little of the honey-like sweetness and stickiness of other Poiré ciders. It’s likeable but just lacks any real character.
