Bottle with dessert as part of cider dinner at Jimmy’s 43. pours golden with nice sugary sweet apple nose maybe hint of barnyard. tastes of ripe apples with caramel, and brandy, the bitterness really cuts through sweetness making it quite lovely.

Bottle shared by AJ - thanks! Pours clear golden with no head and no lacing. Aroma is strong apples, touch of honey. Flavor much the same, quite sweet with intense apple notes. Medium body, quite nice.

Bottle shared with the family in NH during Thanksgiving 2013. Outstanding ice cider. Perhaps a touch thin compared to its robust counterparts in Canada, but this is still absolutely decadent and delicious. Lovely, fully-realised flavors here.

375mL bottle, pours a clear dark-ish orange with a few bubbles as head. Nose is quite different from the Quebec ice ciders I've had, smelling almost more like a mead - with notes of treacle toffee, honey, and of course, pure apples. Flavour brings out rich, liquid treacle toffee, followed by some pureed concentrated apples, honey, and some woody nutty (think almonds) notes on the finish. Remarkable complexity on this one, with a high sweetness that never cloys. The treacle toffee is what really jumps out to me, compared to the other ice ciders I've had. An elegant treat.

Sampled at the 2013 Chicago Cider Summit. Pours a clear deep gold with no head whatsoever. Aroma has a good amount of rich apple that is sweet with some herbs and spice underlying. Flavor has more of a dry apple note with a touch of sweetness and a light spice and booze towards the finish.

Bottle. Pours with a very deep, rich golden hued body. Brilliant clarity, still, laser legs. Aromas are big time apple, lots of acidity, zippy, slight citrus zest in its acid balance. Bright apple, fruity, nearly a bit of baked/spiced apple. Flavors are fully sweet with a great acid balance that keeps it drinkable and engaging. Still very sweet. Definitely dessert level. Vibrant, apple, zesty, baked apple. Pretty well hidden alcohol. Syrupy, viscous, still. Great balance. Vibrant.
