375mL bottle, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out vanilla, sweet apple and caramel. Flavour is moderately complex, with notes of caramel, vanilla and medium apple. Moderate complexity for an iced cider, with a sweet, alcoholic finish. Not up there amongst the best ice ciders - but still quite nice.

Blond color, light shade. Mild but nice aroma of stewed apples, a bit woody and sour. For an Ice Cider, it has a moderate sweetness level; some cider profile, moderate acidity.
Good, not exciting.

Bottle - Bread and dark grains. Clear copper with a beige head. Toffee and grains. Nice sweetness and caramel flavours, with some slight chocolate notes. There is an odd smell that translates to the flavour. The best of their offerings.

Lager. Call it premium if you want, still just tastes like lager. Granted, a little better than your average swill, but still a lager. Pours golden with ok head and lacing - better than their cream ale in fact. Finishes with some like sugary malt. Bottle from brewery.
