The cider is a relatively deep amber gold. It’s flat and clear. The aroma has a lot of excellent apple flavor and complexity. It has a full fruitiness. Strawberries, peaches, kiwis. The taste is sweet with more apple flavor. There’s a bitter edge of apple skins. Maybe some oak dryness from the barrel. Quite sweet but that sweetness packs a ton of flavor. Full feel. A bit syrupy but not sticky, just big and full. Not much booze to it.

2012 vintage. Aroma is rich apple, mostly sweet but also a bit of tartness. Light oak notes with some nice alcohol character. Pours a still copper amber color and its very clear. Fairly long legs. Flavor is very sweet with great apple character. Light tannins from the grape skins with a light tart green apple note. Faint oak character. Mouthfeel is full bodied with no carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very nice ice cider and the best American version I have had. Great apple notes with nice sweetness.

200 ml bottle shared by Adamjackson. Batch # 2012NS201. Amber color with a slick looking texture. Aroma is red apples, pears, sugar and shows a light warming after the sip. Texture has a sticky feeling on the palate. Nice stuff, sweet.
